Friday. Good golly miss Molly. Happy to be home and to not have to go back for a couple days. Not sure what was weird about this week, but it was pretty "off." Someone else that visited today mentioned that it was "off" as well but we couldn't pin point what made things feel so odd.
Some graduated students of ours came back to visit today. A bit distracting but I was able to remind them that I needed to teach my classes and that I would visit with them on breaks. Good to see them again. Sure miss them.
Ok. Today's rundown.
Test in Alg 2. I reminded them that while this was a test, it would be less stressful to think of it as a "where am I at?" assessment for their benefit. Probably didn't help much but at least they seemed to calm down a little. I have a student that has bad anxiety so I'm learning how to help her cope. Tough.
Alg1- not all kids done with the test so we couldn't go over the test. Started the new unit instead and they were lame at first but were better by class end. Didn't assign homework so they could enjoy the weekend (and so could I).
MMA - tough to keep them focused right now. T is still a pain so I gotta find a way to get him to work better. I guess I should be happy he works at all, it would be nice if he helped others when he was done instead of distracting them. D was taken off his medication so he's been more quick to temper. He let me know today so there's one more kid to worry about. Wonder if the SpecEd knows?
Geometry- one more day on reflections. Dude. At least it's done. Whomever wrote the units for CScope was on drugs when they decided these worksheets would take a day. I'm behind and will have to email the Region people to find a way to condense and speed up. And unfortunately, the person I have to talk to is buddies with administration so there's no handling crap on my own. Gotta do what I gotta do to make sure they get what they need.
So much extra drama at school. Need to remember to avoid it. I'm fine with listening about it... But I don't want to get involved. At all. At all. Drama free zone starts with me!!!!!!!! And that's all I have to say about that. The lost boys are on and I'm ready to go to bed soon. Have a good weekend! Later!
