Tuesday:
- We finished the IPT test! (That's the big standardized test that I was coordinating for our site.)
- My big trouble-maker was mellow and calm; he was actually focused on his work.
- The snow was interspersed with sun - my two favorite kinds of weather! It actually wasn't too cold and the wind wasn't blowing!
- I took my kids to the gym for our weekly gym time at the end of the day. One of my boys had on crocs that were almost too small. We were playing kickball and he almost lost his shoes every time he tried to kick or run. He started to do this goofy "flat-footed-toes-first" run that cracked me up.
- One of my girls (in the gym) came up to me after they'd been playing for a few minutes and told me that her shoes were making her feet sweaty. She knows that going barefoot is not allowed, so I'm still not sure what she expected me to do about it.
- I got to school at my usual early morning time and was super-productive!
- Once everyone finally showed up, I had full attendance. (The last kid rolled in around 10:45.)
- I've been doing quarterly assessments in math all week and today we finished all but one small part of one kid's assessment.
- I intended to leave directly after-school, but one of the older elementary students wandered into my room and wanted to use my globe. I figured from her evasive responses to my questions that using a globe was not allowed. I spent 20 minutes naming states and telling her when she found the right one on her own (unlabeled) map. Not necessarily the most educational way of doing things, but we were having fun.
- Walking home from the post office, I had the wind at my back. Made the uphill walk in soft snow much more pleasant.
- I have chocolate.
