Almost the weekend!!!

So not only was today an early dismissal day for the students (as is every Thursday), it's also almost time for our Labor Day break!! :) The kids don't have school tomorrow, though *we* have an all-day in-service. Oh, vell. We do get Monday off, though, so that's awesome! :) I'm hitting Vegas this weekend, so that should be a nice little break.

Today was ok, though I'm starting to feel like the students aren't getting a lot of the math concepts I'd hoped they were. I just spent the past 2.5 hours grading prime factorization projects that were due today. There were a whopping THIRTEEN (13) projects that had NO name on them! Eesh... That means I didn't grade 13 projects, since I didn't want to figure out who did 'em. Oh, vell.

I forgot how tiring teaching, planning, grading, and tutoring are, especially when you have to do them constantly, and they never really end. Also, I haven't had time to eat lunch today, so I'm starving! I have a few more things to finish up here (it's just after 6:30 now), then I'm out.

Anyway, the days are going quickly, and this isn't nearly as traumatic as my first year of teaching. I'm still feeling like I can stick this out a while. Sorry, just had to vent. Hopefully I'll come back refreshed after a long weekend! For now, I bid you adieu.
