urgency

Something that I have been lacking since the year began is that sense that we must learn everything there is to learn, and we must do it today. No exceptions. Yesterday, I began my second round of BAS (leveled-reading) assessments. I was pleased to find that 6 children have moved from pre-reading to level A. Unfortunately, I then looked at my tracker and realized that that is exactly where ALL of my students should be by next week.

Now I am feeling urgent.
