The sixth grade counselor poked her head into my door this afternoon. "Hey!" she said. "Can I ask you a favor?"
Our counselors loop with their students, which means that at any given grade level you only work with any given counselor every three years, or less, when there's turnover in the department. So, even though this is Erin's third year, she's new to our team.
"Of course!" I told her. "Name it!"
"I need to know how many gifted students you have in each class," she said. "The system is kind of glitchy, and it's waaaay easier if you just tell me."
My gradebook was already open and with two clicks I was able to see the information she requested.
"The gifted students have a star by their pictures," she told me, unnecessarily. I nodded, because any teacher who's used the platform before knows that.
"How many stars do you have?" she asked.
"They're all stars!" I answered, messing with her. "In their own ways!"
She laughed.
We're going to get along just great!
