Tomorrow Is A Write-Off
Workday - 8:00am-3:00pm
I had a nice afternoon off, hanging out with my sister. Nothing too exciting to talk about today. I only got the chance to do my "exciting activity" in one of my math classes. It actually went very well, and the students got right into it. Basically, it was like a scavenger hunt around the classroom. The kids had to find different percentages stated on the worksheet (like the percent of chalk that's coloured, or how many students in class were wearing their I.D. tags). There were some flaws with the exercise (i.e., students could change the numbers themselves as they were going around the room. Some broke chalk to make more pieces, others took off their I.D. tags, etc.), but overall it was still fun and educational.
Now I can look forward to tomorrow. About a quarter of the school population will be away on trips. The number was originally supposed to be higher (in fact, the entire school was supposed to be participating in trips or in-school activities, but it couldn't get organized in time). I'm going to pop in a movie for the careers class, and then do some fun worksheets with my math classes. Although I might do the scavenger hunt with the other math class, since it will be significantly smaller.
I'm just glad tomorrow won't be at all intense, because I don't think I'd be able to survive it. It's becoming increasingly difficult to last through five days. Mondays and Tuesdays take it all out of me, and then I'm just sleepwalking through the rest of the week. Mmm... sleep.
