Not sure where I lost a day, but today was day 40, not 39 and it was the best. I met with my principal and he told me he brags about me when ever he gets a chance. He liked my presentation and he normally has two or three things he recommends the teacher to improve and his only comment was that I need to make sure that I allow my students enough time to answer a question and not jump right in if they falter. I thought his observations were right on. He also provided dinner.
One of my students had a melt down today and shed a few tears. It happens about every three or four weeks. I finally got her calmed down and after a talk, I thing she is back under control. We will see tomorrow.
Today's activities went well until language arts and we I tried to get my students to use a pre-writing activity to help them with their next paper. I have some work to do to get them to see the value in this approach.
One of our teachers are still out. Several teachers have chipped in to help the sub keep her class going. We are not sure when she will get back.
I left tonight around 5 pm. I am ready for tomorrow and for Friday. I have to leave right after school tomorrow to help with a color guard. It was nice to leave early tonight.
