If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~Dalai Lama

Today was a much much much better day than yesterday. I'm not sure if it was just because it was a new day or because we went over our community circle and talked about what we could do to change our behaviors. I also decided to wear the microphone during instruction time. I think this also helped to get more attention from the students that sit a further away when we are in the learning area. I also worked on giving a lot of compliments and saying positive things. Then at the end of the day I put a note in each mailbox. The note said something I liked about the student and something they were really good at. I heard a lot of commotion and students talking amongst each other then on the way out of the room a lot of them gave me very sincere thank-yous and had the biggest smiles on their faces. I am excited to see how tomorrow goes!
