Snow "Break"

It has been a while since I've had something to blog about. We've had an inordinate amount of cancellations and weather delays.

Mon. 2-8: 2 hr delay
Tues. 2-9 through 2-12: Cancelled
Mon. 2-15: President's Day = No School
Tues. 2-16: Cancelled
Wed. 2-17: 2 hr delay
Thurs. 2-18: 2 hr delay

So, we're hoping that is the end of that for a while. Although, I heard there's supposed to be a whole other blizzard coming our way. So I guess we'll see. I can't say that I mind the days off to be honest. :) I'm getting spoiled.

Today we started working on my editorial/opinion unit. I think the kids are REALLY going to like it and find it very useful.

The yearbook deadline has also been met with all 55 pages submitted. Although we were technically 9 days late. Yearbook business stops for nothing. But they were 11 days early, earlier in the semester. So I suppose things like that can work out.

Also, I had my first benchmark conference today. It's kind of late but with the tennis convention and all the delays, that is just how it had to be done. We've scheduled the next conference for sometime late next week so we can get back on track. Overall, I thought the conference went really well. It's nice to know other opinions about you. I plan on also recording one of my lessons pretty soon; possibly tomorrow or early next week. I also need to start observing other classrooms, which is something I completely spaced about. Mr. C gave me some good candidates to watch and I'm pretty excited.

Yesterday, I had my first big issue about content in my announcements class. They let a song containing the lyrics, "brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack..." play under the lunch menu, birthdays, etc. That was the only day that I hadn't reviewed the announcements and that is what happened.
"Are you kidding me?!" was all I could think in my head.
The ONE day.
But, lesson learned I guess.
