Today it’s raining…

…and as a result no one comes to school.

Apparently there was an assembly scheduled this morning too.  I don’t teach first block so I didn’t have a class to take to the assembly.  I also don’t have an intercom in my room and when I heard some sort of announcement in the hall I didn’t really pay attention.  Apparently I was supposed to go.  Instead of going, I got all of my grading done, my progress reports written and analyzed and got myself prepared for class.  My organization is slowly coming along.  My inclusion teacher tells me I’m doing great with it, but it definitely doesn’t feel like it.  Getting up at 3:45AM to grade papers and make progress reports doesn’t exactly sound organized to me.  I also fell asleep at 5:30 yesterday afternoon and work up at 9:30 last night.  I guess I was tired.  The nap gave me a boost of energy to work, but only for a couple of hours so I ended up awake in the wee hours of the morning finishing up everything that needed to be done today. 

And then I came to school in the pouring rain and had 80% of my classtime taken away from me for an assembly.  (Also, most students don’t come to school when it rains) I guess it’s nice to feel like I had everything prepared had they come to class today.  Oh well.  I’ll get a second chance in my fourth block class and I’ll have a fun time on Monday giving my second block the make-up quiz!  Some of them were dissapointed with their progress reports and I had to explain to them that in order to pass they actually have to TURN ASSIGNMENTS IN!  One of my students got a 92% on his unit 1 exam but is failing my class because he didn’t turn any classwork or homework in.  Hopefully the progress report was a wake up call for them…

Hopefully I can write more about what/whre I’m actually teaching, where I’m living, and how life is actually going here over the weekend.  I’m hoping to get ahead a little bit but I found out that I have my certification class on Saturday for 8hours that I conveniently forgot about until Wednesday so we’ll see how far ahead I get!  Until next time…
