Is it June Yet?
I am so completely ready for this school year to be over. One week down with the WASL, one more to go. I'm trying to decide if I will bow to my boring curriculum, or defeat it with unpaid creativity and time. I just don't know which I want to do.
Maybe both. I've been thinking about doing a "self-improved" version of my curriculum with one class and the regular curriculum with my other four classes. My 4th period class is almost an honors class without the official title. I have five students who are bound and determined to fail my class (in this class period) and I don't think it matters too much what I do with my curriculum. Other than those five, this class tests between 9-12th grades for reading and writing. They are the top five percent at our school (grades-based, of course). I think I could do piles more with them than I could with my four other classes.
But part of me just doesn't care at this point. I'm leaving this school and my motivation is very low when it comes to improving upon what is planned. I don't want to put too much effort into my classroom, because in June I have to take it all down anyway. The stuff I'm going to keep I am going to store in the house while we are abroad. Motivation wains when thinking in "three-years-from-now" mode.
Crap. I mean... damn. Is it June yet?
