After yesterday, I needed today. Today was a fairly run of the mill black day, if one can call the second black day ever experienced run of the mill. I started out with Read 180, and the students were actually able to log into the system! We went through the software demo cd and they were able to play around on the system and see how it works. Tomorrow we finally get to start in the actual program. Not bad for the 8th day of school.
My English 12 class was a repeat of a class I taught yesterday where my students got set up for Google docs and My Big Campus, and this class didn't make me want to jump through the boarded up 2" thick window that adorns my room.
iPass was a little mundane as I haven't had a need to call students down yet, but with assignments starting to be graded, I have a feeling this may change soon with some students impressively piling up missing work so early in year. I had quite a few students leave iPass to go see other teachers, so I'm glad students are benefiting from it.
Prep was next, followed by my Read 180 lab where students revised a writing assignment, then we played a vocabulary development game of Boggle. The class challenged me to a game of Boggle, me vs all of them combined, the next time we played. I'm pretty sure my ego will accept that challenged.
Soccer practice followed, and it was good to see the boys working hard. We are still in the tryout phase, and tomorrow is cut day. I truly abhor cut day, whether its for my school or club team, but it's necessary. Once cuts are made, the real work can begin.
