my day is full of "your mom" jokes/comebacks. its gotten to the point that even I have slipped into the "your mom" retort. what's the answer to number 5? "your mom." Do you know when the tournament begins? "no, but i bet your mom does." *big sigh* i'd like to think that at one time or another my sense of humor was above this but apparently my sense of humor has become lazy.
enough about that, lets get down to today's summary.
alg 2 - got through another paper. woo! we are yet another day behind but at least we are making some sort of progress. almost to the end of this unit and then we will begin another. need to get to quadratics at least. i ought to check my old lesson planners to see where i used to be. oh yeah. forgot. turned those in. hm. maybe i still have my old pics of the assignment board.
alg1 - got yesterday's missing kids caught up. did the fastest but most thorough summary you've ever seen and we are still on track for this week. go figure. i could see where they wanted to slack off and i think they were mad b/c i turned the lights on during their computer class. you know, i just dont care. its probably a horrible attitude to take but i honestly don't care. there is work to be done, i am not going to sit around and let you goof off. i know better now.
MMA - i had them read a descriptive statistics report i wrote back when I was doing my masters. i admitted it was boring stuff but they glanced over it and then we talked about why i wrote the paper, what was all involved and how the stuff we had studied was included in the report. it went from boring to a little more interesting for them. plus they thought they had sidetracked me by asking about my old job, etc. but really, they didn't. HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! we test the next two days and then start a new unit monday. woo! on-time!
Geo - they took a quiz and did their best to crack jokes. it was very much a relaxed atmosphere but at least their quiz is done. most did all right. at least they are sort of seeing what we are doing. and then theres others that dont see anything at all. i can sympathize with them as i am barely starting to understand the relationships but dang. some they miss are really obvious. tomorrow they test and then we can hopefully move on to bigger and better things. at this rate, they are now farther ahead (in terms of units) than Alg 2.
One poor student made the mistake of calling Mrs Love instead of my real name. It was an honest mistake, I'm sure. All the other boys teased him about it and well, it made me laugh a little only because I know he didn't mean to. Silly kids.
One last thing I wanted to note for myself -
MMA - on time
Alg1 - at least on the right unit.
Geometry - about ready to start the right unit.
Alg 2 - still working towards the right unit. 3 days away if i had genius kids. more like 4 for my still brilliant but not genius kids.
time to pack up and leave. tomorrow starts our Bball tournament season and its the time of school all us teachers dread. laters!
