It's almost Christmas break and you can feel the ancy "just let me out!" vibe buzzing in the halls. That vibe is then enhanced by the students' need to be out of school as well.
Alg2- I got sidetracked too easily. Need to remember to keep on track and not be so distracted.
Alg1- did journal entry with slope and linear function stuff. Didn't print the papers correctly so I ended up wasting time printing. Note to self: make sure all printouts make sense and you have pictures of what needs to be written taken with a decent camera.
MMA - going through quadratics with ten. What a mistake. Got through the paper and they now have homework. Won't they be surprised when they get zeroes for not turning their work in. Well, only a certain two people. The rest will probably do their work.
Geo- review notes and test. Spent most of the tutoring various students from the class including after school scheduled tutoring. I don't want to complain about them though seeing as at least they seem fairly interested in doing math.
I even got a little compliment from the Chemistry teacher that the soph students seemed more focused and able to handle the math aspect of chemistry much better this year, and even just in this past 6 weeks. He said whatever I was doing, I ought to keep it up. If pushing the kids until I want to cry is what it takes... Then I guess I'll go and buy more tissues.
On a different note, I do feel a sense of sorrow for my fellow teachers and the poor, innocent children who were murdered today. It made me grateful to see my boys walk through the door today after school and I will be sure to hold them tight for as long as they'll let me. My prayers are with their families tonight and for the next while as they struggle through this time.
Goodnight.
