The title is a pun; I got into a car accident Tuesday (the 24th) that caused me to take that day off. Thus, an accidental 4-day week... Get it? (Feel free to groan.)
Anyway, this week has been pretty good. The kids have been fairly mellow, and I moved two "challenging" students to my "honors" class. (I use quotes for "honors" because it's not officially one, but almost ALL the students are advanced.)
We're getting ready for the dreaded AIMS test that will occur the next 3 weeks. (It's given in parts, the first of which will be writing.) I'm slightly nervous for my kids, since I'm not sure how they'll do...
Hmm... I've been pretty goofy with the kids for most of the week. Wednesday, I came back after my accident. I told each class (very animatedly, might I add) about my aforementioned accident. They were amused, and I had a blast telling the story. Thursday, I had not gotten much sleep the night prior, so I was pretty zany. Today, I came in after a good night's sleep AND a lot of caffeine, so I was hyper. I can't believe we only have 8.5 weeks left of class... It's going so fast!
If you're interested, the photos from my accident are posted below. Long story short, I rear-ended a car (at under 10 mph!!), my airbags deployed, my windshield was shattered, my bean burrito (breakfast) got splattered everywhere, and I escaped with very minimal injuries. Bleh. I also have to find a car now... If you have any ideas, let me know!! :) Now, I'm off to grade, lesson plan, make copies, then get my WEEKEND on! Cheers!
