the color purple







so i don't think i shared the motivational challenge that i extended to the students about passing the reading taks test. i told them that if everybody passed taks, we'd dye our hair pink (in the end, we had to go with purple because the store didn't have any pink left). it seemed to cause quite a reaction and the kids got really excited about it. as i've said in my previous posts, there were a few that we were concerned about...one in particular that i was thinking would have a slim chance of passing (was diagnosed with a learning disability). but, after the 2nd round, even that kid passed. talk about making my year!!! =) julie was such a sport to go along with my antics. (thanks, bud!) so here we are, proudly following through with our end of the deal...what an awesome way to end the school year!!!
