I get an iPad for work next year. I am suppperr stoked. I wonder if they will mind if I use it to play Doodle Sprint all day instead of using it to teach the children?
I am so ready for summer, but already sad about saying goodbye to my kids. I know that once I get my new batch of 8th graders in August I will love them just as much, but right now the idea of having a room full of different kids makes me sad.
Nathan and I get to go to Idaho this weekend to be with his family and see their new house! I am really excited!
I have had trouble sleeping at night lately because I keep dreaming that I am late for my IEP meetings and I haven't even written the IEP yet. Is it obvious what's on my mind lately?
The pretzels I am eating were in a baggy with the new gum I just bought, and they totally taste minty. Gross.
Every Tuesday night since last September and every Tuesday night for another year and a half, I am taking a graduate level reading class to endorse my degree. I carpool with 3 lovely ladies and this semester Brad Wilcox is teaching our class. He is super legit and funny and he makes the class awesome. But the two semesters before? They sucked. And I feel like all the semesters after may suck as well. Why did I decide to do this again?
I just remembered that I told a student he had to stay after class 2nd period and I forgot. Dangit! They get so happy when I forget!
We just finished reading the Hunger Games in my reading class. Today we played Jeopardy to review for the test. I split them up into 2 teams and let them choose their team names. They chose The Justin Bieber's and The Selena Gomez's. Awesome.
Woah, I took a break and was productive. I am taking a student LRE screening next week so I had to organize the file. I know that made no sense to most of you. Oh well.
I am so freaking glad it's Friday.
My Study Skills class is completely silent right now. It's amazing. They are probably scared. The class started off with me confiscating a cell phone and assigning a lunch detention for swearing. Fear is the best way to teach right?
This week has been nuts. Wednesday might have been the most stressful day I have ever had of teaching.
At work, I move around a lot. I am in my classroom half the day and then I co-teach with other teacher's for the rest of the day. I get sick of walking around the school. My classroom is connected with my dear friend, Phil's classroom. I often cut through his room to get to the other side of the school and it saves me so much time and I don't have to force my way through the sea of very tall middle schoolers. Well for the past 2 days, the door that connects our rooms has been jammed and we couldn't open it. I was so annoyed. No key would get it open. I had a janitor come in this morning and fix it. He was laughing at how excited I was. He said, "Is it really that far to walk around?" And that's when I realized how lazy I am.
Last night the bishopric in our new ward came over to meet us. One of them asked me my hobbies outside of work and I could not think of anything. How do people have time for hobbies?!
A student is upset they have to do presentations in science. He just asked, "What good will teaching us public speaking do?! We'll never need to do it after middle school!" Oh he is in for the best surprise!
Nathan introduced me to spam the other night. I was all grossed out and dead set against it just because spam sounds disgusting. Turns out it's delicious and I want to eat it all the time.
This post is lame. Let's close with a picture. Found this book in my class the other day.
