They're touching my layout. I know exactly where I want my stuff on my flag football layout... and they're messing with it. Now I have to go back and fix all the pictures they AREN'T supposed to put on that page. I want to shoot them for messing with my page. 104 pages in the yearbook and they chose to mess with MY layout pages. OH MY HELL. Go start a new page. FINISH YOUR DANG FALL FESTIVAL PAGE, but GET OFF MY PAGE.
Its like they read my mind because they just switched to their page. Which they suck at even though I tell them how to fix things. And I just chewed one of them out for putting herself down cause I'm sick of listening to them put themselves down and the whole "I can't do it". I don't care what you think you can or can't do, JUST TRY IT and then we can fix things from there but don't go telling me you can't do it when you haven't even made the effort. I need a break. Yep. Its time for summer RIGHT NOW. Thanksgiving isn't long enough. Christmas may not even cut it. I see this year as the make it or break it year and I just might break. Its a possibility. I'm going to try to keep it from happening but whew. Its either that or I'm going to go out and buy a whole closet full of brooms to fly around on (become a witch).
OK. today's run down. I guess i shouldn't complain so much b/c we got some work done. just tired of listening to kids talk is all.
ALG2 - Got 2 packets done today because we did one packet in class and then another in Review. They make me wonder if they get things but one seems to be ok. Now if only the other would stop doubting herself. She's the one I just chewed out. I get so tired of hearing about how she thinks she doesn't get it and then she doesn't try. Tomorrow is a quiz and I'll let them work on things then Wednesday is a Test.
ALG 1 - Worked on intercepts with them. Again, its just a chorus of "I don't get it". What is to get? its a rise over a run. it's where the parent function moved up a certain amount of units. what is to get? they can all do it. yet, they dont and they just complain. They wanted help today and I said no but told them it was because they were so eager to leave the classroom the other day and we had plenty of time to get things done but basketball was more important to them than getting their work done on time. meh. I don't feel too bad about that one.
MMA - went well since a certain person wasn't here for class today. Relations vs Functions so we are finally getting back into algebra stuff which is refreshing. I think they like the change as well but oops. forgot to go over the tests with them. maybe tomorrow. I have to stop forgetting to hand stuff back. I grade it, just forget to give it back. Need to get better.
GEO. - I spent last night finding places to condense. I think i got things to a point where they see the important stuff but we can keep moving. It worries me to leave out some of the exploration stuff though so I emailed a copy of it to the Region guy for him to look over. The idea is to make sure we hit all our testing standards. We got through our first paper today. Sent another home for them to think about since much of what that paper has is very much like the Unit test. Tried to convey this to them but of course they don't listen, then wonder why their grade is crap.
Which leads me to Yearbook, and you've already heard my gripe about that. I almost wish I could just have them help me sell ads and then I just do the layouts. I'm a pro at those now. haha. Reminder: need to make sure I get a thumb drive to my sports picture guy so I can finish the football stuff. and I should find something to grade so i can stay caught up. plus do my parent communication. laters.
