The honeymoon is over. Kids are mostly back to their normal selves. Hard to remember what it was like and I now apologize to any of my good math teachers for cutting up in my classes. It's coming back to me. Argh.
Alg2- the kids struggled with their quiz but it was first thing so I didn't expect much. They test tomorrow so that should be interesting. It's gonna be ok. I hope.
Alg1- the test isn't much like what they learned. But they did ok. They looked pretty freaked out but overall it's ok. Will start a new unit tomorrow and I'm ready to move on. Oi.
MMA - T is a pain in the butt. He chose a different place to sit today and then proceeded to cut up with S and C. I made him move and ignored him until he asked math related questions. Frustrating. But at least we got some work done and I've found a unit I should be able to cut out. I think it's the one Kathy told me I could skip. So I will to keep them up to speed.
And then there's Geometry. What should have taken 1 day is now on day 2 and they seem to want to make it a 3 day event. Which would be fine b/c it'd complicated a bit but its mostly b/c they cut up. It was a little better today b/c I moved some people so I hope it starts to get better. I don't know. One on one, the kids are awesome. Get them together and it's insane. I can do this. I can do this.
It probably didn't help that we had school pictures today for yearbook. Then I tutored some more, counseled a student and after that I was done. Just done. Some old students dropped by so we joked around with another teacher until it was time to go. Needed that. Just to end the day on a less stressed note. Good to hear that college is going well for them and all that too. Well. Tests to grade, translations to correct... I miss you summer. 😉 Laters!
