3rd week
omg i'm stressed. my kids can't learn! i'm so sad. they keep talking and they don't learn anything! we have our math assessment due this week and we barely touched on fractions. ugh. ugh ugh ugh!! i have my first master's benchmark due this week also and i haven't started on anything. this is terrible. i feel like i'm falling behind so quickly.
my kids = terrors. this one kid decides to pierce his ears in class with a thumbtack. *_* he proudly showed his hole to everyone and said he pierced it himself. i'm going to find pictures to show kids what infections look like and how it's SO NOT COOL piercing your own ear with a thumbtack! i also called his parents during class since he didn't believe i would. I had his # handy and all the other kids started talking and I warned them i'd call their parents too but they just kept on talking and talking!! i should have just spent the whole period calling parents. ughhh.
it's my 3rd week already. there's so much to do. and with the stupid lausd payroll issue and the boycotts, it's been a bit more stressful and difficult. i pray that my paycheck is aok. although i don't exactly know what i'm getting paid yet...
i found a way to check my mail on the lausd internet. now i'm super excited because i can keep up with my mail at work and not have to worry about coming home to turn on the computer and check. i have been so busy and just coming home to sleep that the last time i turned on my computer and got on the internet, all the links on the pulldown menu were gone! it's been a long long time. i'm so tired of writing 72 students' names over and over and over again. i have memorized everyone's names finally. =)
on a positive note, this coming week begins a new elective cycle which means that i have conference period every day after lunch. i don't have to teach after lunch for 6 weeks! i'm so excited. that means i have time to do my master's paper.
