Achievement: The fifth and sixth graders have been learning about reproductive health and issues related to that topic. The county health department taught them a lesson on bodily changes and I covered sexual harassment. Today the students each wrote down something they have learned from these lessons. I love what they wrote:

"I learnd that sexulhras ment was elegel"

"I learned that if I'm being harassed, I can get help"

"I learned it is not okay to sexually harass someone"

and my favorite... "Puberty is unstoppable!"

Respect: Belly laughs with colleagues

Fun: Paid $1.oo to wear a hat all day for 8th grade fundraiser

Freedom: I worked on my annual staff evaluation. I like that I get to reflect on my accomplishments for the year and set professional goals for next year.
