Day 69

I cannot think of anything out of the ordinary that happened today. I brought black wrapper Hersey Kisses representing coal and gave one to all of my students. I also gave one to each of the staff. They had a good time with the candy. I gave a handful to the principal and assistant principal, telling them that they must have been very bad this past year.

I applied for grant to go on a Revolutionary War tour next summer and asked my principal if I could use him as a professional reference. He said he would help any way that he could. I gave my students their history pre-quiz. I will send if off tomorrow.

We had our first in-door recess today; things went well. I found out after that things were good enough out side that they could have gone out side. I sent them out for the afternoon recess. I need a few more games to keep the engaged and a puzzle.

We had our monthly M&J assembly today. It was about service. It started earlier than I planned and my students missed part of their computer time. I am a little inflexible and do not like things to happen outside of the scheduled time. I like to plan and work my plan. (It is the Army in me.)

I left tonight around 5:30 p.m. I have most of my week planned and copies made. I also have the masters turned in for hand outs I will need in January. How is that for looking ahead.
