the aftermath...

so many of you probably saw my facebook status, but 9 of my students go suspended yesterday! INTENSE. i think all the suspensions were for disrespect. which THEY TOTALLY DESERVED. i feel bad for some of them, but on the whole, the disrespect had been around for awhile for this teacher and the students need to understand that they will have this teacher whether they like it or not. oh well. crazy crazy.

this week has been exceptionally long after an exceptionally short week last week. i loved the snow days in the moment, but i have to say, coming back from an unexpected four day weekend was rough. also, we ahven't had a full week of school since we started school on january 4th... so the routine has been a little off. this was the first full week, and nine of my students again get a four day weekend! oh well.

other than that life is just going. i think across the board tfa first years are starting to feel like they're stagnating a little bit. i feel like i started off with some momentum, but things have just gone crazy downhill in my classroom. it might also be the routine has been messed up.

today was a peaceful day, but we didn't do any new ocntent because i just don't want to do that so close to the test, what with so many people gone. tomorrow hopefully will be just as peaceful. who knows.

anyways, that's all for now, just wanted to alert you guys that i do indeed work, not just take snow days!
