Day 77

The next to the last day before the break and all through the halls the students are on break. Most do not do anything and those that do, are not doing much. We had an assembly today and it was pretty good. We had a visit from a local HS choir & jazz band.

I gave my chapter math test today, after a few weeks of work. It is amazing just how little they remember. I am sure it must be a reflection of my poor teaching; however it is not a lack of trying. Too many of them just give up even if we just talked through it a few minutes before the test. I am very frustrated about their lack of even trying.

Tomorrow, the last day, is pretty much shot. We have a sing-a-long from 9 a.m. to 11:15 a.m., I will try to get something done from then until lunch at 12:10. After they get done with lunch, they leave for home 30 minutes latter.

My "new" student got into trouble today with the playground aids. I counseled him and emailed his mom. I do not know how much help it will be.

I am flying to Phoenix on Friday night and will not be home to make my Day 78 blog. I will try to get to it on Saturday after I return.

I left tonight at 4:30 to go get some more holiday shopping done.
