I missed Thursday 13 today. So sorry to those who stopped by! I have to say I am very thankful that it is a short school week. The students are still hyper. Many have decided the end of school is near and they do not have to keep working. I’m happy that, at this time, none of my students are in the position where they can not pass the class. I do have several who are on the borderline though. If they do not get it together they’ll be with me in summer school. At least they will know what to expect!
I did not get accepted in the first round picks for Lowell workshop. They did say I am an alternate. I do not think I will accept if it does work out that they bring in alternates. It would be great to go, but it is looking like my summer is pretty full. June is alread booked. I’m hoping for family vacation in July. The week of the Lowell trip is the perfect time really.
Saturday is the final meeting with my grad group. I have no idea what it is about. We have already completed the program evaluation. At least they are giving us class supplies. We were given a spending amount and told to shop on-line and catalogs for things we wanted, submit our list and it will be in soon. WOOHOO! A teacher’s dream, free classroom goodies! It was a lot harder than I thought it would be too. You want the money to go to good use, but you can’t preview all of the material. I purchased videos, software, and a few books. I can ask our media center to order anything that I really want for classes, but if I leave this school I can’t take it with me…so it’s really great to have my own now.
Softball is off to a great start…practice anyway. I’m playing second, short, and sometimes third. I have no desire to be in the outfield, but can if that is what is needed. The only base I refuse to play is first. I’ve never had a good experience on first. I’ve played it several times, but not well. When playing on a coed team I was run over by men who outweighed me a whole me! That was my only request when I signed up, no first. I like second the best. All in what you are comfortable with I guess.
That’s it for today…Papers to grade. Midterm grades are due tomorrow. Joy joy. State testing starts next week. The countdown to the end is on!
