Hard Work

"You'll work harder than you've ever worked in your life!" she said at the end of the two-week workshop.

I can't say if that is true yet or not, but it definitely IS a lot of hard work. Yesterday, I was mentally and physcially exhausted.

Add frustrated to that list also.

We worked for a long time on the "TH" sound, admittedly a difficult sound to make. I talked about tongue position, the sound, blah, blah, blah. I listened as they said it over and over. We did a fun chant to work on it.

Then, after class, one of my students said, "Hello, Mrs. HackworT."

Deflation. Defeat. Derailed.
