It’s Friday and it is a beautiful day! Sunshine and warmth! The day is a total bust for school. With prom tomorrow and spring carnival today the students are in no frame of mind to focus on class. My first period is playing monopoly. Capitalism. Scarcity. Trade-offs. Opportunity costs. Great game to supplement our economics lessons. I will probably take second period outside and have them share their UN country’s position with the group and make notes. The rest of the day…carnival. I would rather not have it at this time, but since it is not my choice I might as well embrace the fun. My group will be responsible for the pie a teacher contest. I have cash to buy out if it is me that they want to pie. Whipped cream and a hot day…not the best combo. I would love to say the money raised will go for a good cause, but it is to supplement the prom budget. Students need to have fun, but I also think they need to plan within their needs and not depend on the last minute fund raising of spring carnival.

What’s up for the weekend? It is supposed to be very nice so I’m hoping to spend a significant amount of time outdoors. Going to the theme park may be an option if the preteen will clean her room and adjust her attitude. Why can’t girls just get along?!?!

She took my clippy.

She’s breathing my air…
