#MentorMonday We’ve all had THISE conferences; #MentorMonday

We’ve all had THISE conferences; the ones that you dread having but know that it has to be done. If you’ve been teaching for longer than 15 minutes, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

During one such conference, a certain teacher (who will remain nameless - Literary Sherri 😂) was seriously discussing the student’s lack of effort and attitude in class. At one point, she leaned forward to emphasize her point, and her chair 🪑shot out from underneath her.

After a couple of awkward seconds, 🤦‍♀️ the father of the student walked around the desk and helped her back into her chair.

She continued on with the conference 🤷‍♀️ as if nothing had happened.

Moral of the story - 👍🏻 Always remain calm - even when you fall out of your chair.

Anyone else out there have a “fall out of your chair” moment to share?

This was a hard prompt to write, mainly because I This was a hard prompt to write, mainly because I cry like a baby whenever I read this book. 📓📝
It did give me one of the coolest moments of my teaching career, though. I was reading the book aloud (because I believe in reading aloud no matter what age) and got choked up. Okay, I admit it. I was crying like a baby. 😭😭😭
I told the kids to give me a second and as I sat there trying to pull myself together, I heard a voice continue reading where I had stopped. When that voice quit reading another took over. 📚
I was still crying, but now it was for an entirely different reason. I’ll always treasure that memory and hope this resource can help you make some memories of your own. 
Check it out; I think you’ll like it.
