Day 41 & 42

This is getting to be a bad habit. I missed making my comments yesterday. Not sure why; nothing remarkable happened that I can remember. I left class early on Thursday to be a part of a color guard for a new church that had an open house in my home town. I left at 3:45 p.m. I was told that one of my students was found in the restroom crying because another student had made a comment about her being adopted. I will have to look into this on Monday. As far as I can remember, all went well on Thursday.

As Fridays go, today was pretty good. We made it through the day without any issues or problems. Friday's are short days and things went as planned. Spelling tests, Art, and reading; pretty normal for a Friday. The art project was music art. I played Halloween music and the students drew what they visualized. Some of the pictures were quite creative; others less.

After school we met as a team for our meeting with the assistant principal. We were ready and it went well. Our tutors and reading specialists joined us and they were happy with what we were doing. We discussed a few other things and than set up my students to take their benchmark test. I will administer the test on Monday.

After school tonight we had a PTA carnival. I volunteered my room and supervised a booth for three hours. It was good to get it over with. The assistant principal made a comment to my wife that the school got a great deal when they hired me. Complements are nice to hear; as long as I do not let them get to my head. Needless to say I left tonight around 8:30 p.m. Good thing I have Monday and most of Tuesday's materials ready.
