One of my students is off to India tonight for winter break, but before going she did the responsible thing and asked all her teachers for any work sh might miss over the next three days. I commend her, but lordy! The 3 days before vacation are crazy, and who knows what we'll get done.
Still, she (and her parents) are definitely in the Type A category, and so I pulled together a few resources to help her write the first draft of her essay. "Thank you!" she said as I handed them to her this morning. Then she frowned. "Do you happen to have a folder to put them in?" I did.
Later in the day I saw her again. "Have a great trip!"
"Thanks!" she answered. "I have my folder right here," she patted her binder. "You know what?" she asked. "You are the only teacher who had a packet for me today!"
I shrugged. "It's a busy time," I said on my colleagues' behalf.
She gave me a thumbs up. "You were right on point, though," she assured me.
"Thank goodness for that," I winked. "See you in January!"
