Day 32

After leaving early last night I have been in a catch up mode all day. Although I knew what I needed to do, it just seam that things did not go as smooth as normal. I think it all started when we were called to the gym for an unannounced assembly just as school was scheduled to start. Again it was for a worthy intent, "Walk to School Day". It only last for about 15 minutes, but when your day is planned out, 15 minutes throws off your day.

I had several students stay in today in recess and it caused some confusion. I am not sure I want to continue doing it.

I have to be gone again tomorrow for a half day for a doctor's appointment. I am using a sub that has been used by one of our other 5th grade teachers. I will have about 15 minutes overlap before I have to leave.

I had one of my students stay after school tonight to catch up on her work. It was good for her, but it was an hour I could not do my work. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I finally left tonight at 7:45. I am very ready for tomorrow and for my sub; however I will have to stay late on Thursday because I cannot stay late on Friday. We have tickets to a play.
