A much better day

I keep forgetting how polarized this profession is at times. Today was a good day overall! Granted, Thursdays are usually pretty good because the kids get out an hour and 15 minutes early. This makes classes only 38 minutes long instead of the usual 50. Also, Thursdays are nice because I have all 4 of my math classes in the morning, back-to-back. Usually, I have 3, then lunch, homeroom, "math boost," and then my last math class. On Thursdays, I have all 4 classes, then lunch, homeroom, and "math boost." Not too shabby.

Anyway, I think the kids and I, overall, are jiving pretty well. We're making a math-related video (with a select group of students) tomorrow... It'll be on YouTube tomorrow afternoon! :) I'll post a link here when our video's online. (Don't worry; all the kids on it have parental permission signed off.)

Wow, we just got an e-mail that read: "There has been a bank robbery [right next to our school]. It is believe that suspects ran towards our school. Please walk your students to the bus."

Crazy times. Luckily, the e-mail came during my prep time, so I only had to walk my student assistant to the bus. I can only imagine what the rumors will be tomorrow...

Okee, off to a meeting for the next TWO HOURS. Funfun. But yeah, today was much better than yesterday, and overall, I still enjoy this job a great deal. Peace!

I love it when you have days that go well for you and your students. It makes me very happy when you say that you still enjoy your job a great deal. You're an amazing woman and teacher and the students can learn so very, very much from you; and you can learn a great deal from them, too.

Love you,
