'Twas the Night Before the Maker's Fair
Nov. 7th, 2017 07:04 pmAnd I don’t want to do it anymore. *cries*
No it’s okay. I’m just nervous. And there’s no reason to be. There’s still only two people signed up for my session. I won’t be teaching it alone. I know what I’m doing, I have the materials. It’s fine. I can do this. I’ve got this.
I just don’t want to.
In good news, we’re done CELT testing. Thank God. Today I gave the reading portion, and, man, clearly testing on the iPads has worked against paper testing. The kids wouldn’t turn the pages! They kept telling me they were done, and I’d walk over to find they’d just done the first page (sometimes just the first problem) without turning the page and working to the stop sign. And I showed them, every time, that they’d need to turn the page and do these questions and keep going to the STOP sign, which I pointed out and showed them. But, nope. They didn’t get it. It was weird; I’ve never had that problem before.
So, back to normaler life tomorrow. It’s early release day tomorrow and then Veteran’s Day Friday, so it’s a short week. It’s a weird week. And then next week is parent conferences. *sighs* It’s okay, I can do that, too. And I’m done with report cards except for my science grade, which I’ll get on Thursday. So I’m in good shape.
