Mrs. Zana’s Reflection

I suppose I should answer my own questions as well!

I’ll remember all my students. You are a terrific bunch. I’ve been bragging about you all year. When people ask me if I’m glad the year is over, I usually say, “Not really. I’m going to miss my students. I’ve got a great class.” Besides all my students, I’ll remember:

The movie at the Skirball. I got just a little bit bored and fell asleep. Oops.

The bird walk in Woodly Park and walking to see the stream at Lake Balboa.

The science field trip. Wading in the stream in the COLD water.

Painting pictures of Ancient Greece.

The Greek Olympics

Working REALLY hard to prepare for the CSTs, especially the contest in room one

All the girls baking cupcakes

Random acts of kindness from so many students

The girls playing violin after school by the bench

All the pillows and blankets for the Daoism activity

Digging in the sand box at the Skirball and all the docents telling me what a nice class I have

The “culminating activity” before winter break. All the food and presents!

Applauding when classmates raised their grades

Teaching. Learning. Becoming a community.

It was a good year!

How have you changed this year? If you had it all to do over again, what would you do differently?

What have you learned this year? Be specific. What skills or information have you gained? Don’t list every little thing, just the big ideas.
