Well, this posting isn't happening until Monday night, which is Labor Day. Friday night I literally passed out on my bed before 10 p.m. with my shoes still on. It was the end to a very exhausting week. I am a night owl, and with my occasional insomnia, even being in my bedroom before 10 p.m. is the rarest of all occasions. I slept for 10 hours that night, which is probably as much as I slept the previous two nights.
Friday was an easy, almost boring day. The first class was Read 180, and we went over some grammar corrections in the small group part, and the students worked on the computer software during their computer time. During English 12, this group went to the library to do research for their destination topics. I had many students come to me for iPass passes to do research during that time as well, and according the records, almost all of them showed up to do it. There shouldn't be any excuse for my classes not having their research done. iPass and prep followed, and I was able to get my lessons all planned out for the next week. The last period was my Read 180 lab, where the students read and I had time to conference with them on their paragraph writing assignment. Some are getting it, others aren't. I am not sure if its laziness or lack of skills. I will keep forging on to find out.
The day ended by going to the first home football game of the season. We left after the first quarter when the game was pretty much already in hand. I took a few pretty cool pictures of the night's festivities.
The Labor Day weekend was more eventful than I had anticipated with sick kids and an attack by some very angry hornets. I'm hoping that wasn't a sign of things to come this week.
