Its Homecoming today. On a Thursday. Everyone is excited and they did not want to work today. Tomorrow should be interesting since we will still have school but no one will want to work. Oh well. Do our best as usual.
Busy day for after school stuff. Need to update my lesson plans and hand those in (since Ive fallen behind) then grading and all that admin stuff then theres the HC game that I need to take pictures for but will most likely get someone else to take pictures. Argh. Glad its almost the weekend but the hubs is laid up just a tad so that should be interesting as well. I'm happy football is over for my own kids. Ok. enough about that. lets talk about the other stuff.
Yesterday things went well. Alg 2 yesterday wasn't great but we got things done. Today we worked towards finishing things up but ended up talking about classic novels so while it wasn't all math, it was educationally related. Tomorrow need to finish up the packet and move on.
Alg 1 - I had those kids for 2 periods today so they worked on catching up and then they took a quiz but not everyone finished. Tomorrow is the test though so I guess they'll have to finish that at a later period. Ready to move on though.
MMA - finishing up the test we started yesterday. some kids got right through it, the rest needed to take their time. Going to breeze through the next unit though since its not all TAKS related. That will get us caught up to where we need to be in regards to lesson time. That will be my own class that is on time for the 1st 2 six weeks. Big SIGH.
Geometry - I could tell they didnt want to work but I got them to. Another part of the lesson done so we can keep moving on. Almost done with this unit and I'm pretty stoked about that. I have a feeling that even though I'm behind, I'll still get more done than last year. Plus I've got someone coming out from Region to help me get back on track. Until then, we just keep moving on.
Well, ok. I feel a mess but am slowly working to try to make things better. Makes me wonder if I'll ever have my crap together.
OH SNAP. I just remembered that I used this foldable for Algebra 1 "solving equations and inequalities." I'll try to throw in the link so you can use it too.
Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities Foldable
Its from a teacher in TN and I just found her on the teacherspayteachers.com. It was a free download and most of my students really liked doing this foldable. Ok. yeah. that's all i have for now. gotta work on lesson plans and what not. laters.
