11.27.12- another day another $

I should be grading. Grading is like laundry. Just when you think you're done, you find another pile waiting for you.

Alg2- didn't get everything done but it went better than I thought. Gets us that much farther ahead. Learning how to skim off the fluff and get to the gist of things. Some days are better than others.

Alg 1- didn't get as far as I'd like but it's going faster than previous years. Nice kids, just not as personable as I'm used to. They kinda just sit there and then complain when one kid answers the questions. I'd tell him to wait for a minute but then the others just sit there and say "I don't get it" but complain if beaten to the answer. Gotta figure that one out.

MMA - got through another paper. They're focused for the most part but it might also be because one of the kids was mad at the others or me. I'm not sure which but he was talking to me so maybe not me. I might have said something about one of my kids not performing up to the best of his ability (in no uncertain terms) and he was better today so that he didn't prove me right. Might this be the motivation I've been looking for? Sucks I had to go that route.

Geo - had the kids for 15 minutes did some vocab and then they were off to a game. Gotta love basketball. Almost everyone in the school plays so the entire school is gone sometimes. Nice sometimes for a relaxing day but then I end up babysitting or something and we don't get much done. Blarg.

My head is starting to ache and I have grading. Woo. Grading. Laters.
