Stumbling Towards Friday
Sep. 28th, 2017 07:57 pmWordPress entry, no pictures though. Just hoping for hits. :)
Today represents what I dislike about Thursdays: I’m exhausted, I’m ready to sleep in and relax, but I still have another day. Thursday is just a day blocking my way until Friday, one more day I have to get through to get to the weekend. It’s a blah day. I’m trying to do what I can to make it a better day. I wore a pretty new dress. I got Starbucks. But even that doesn’t work. All I ask at Starbucks is a reasonable ratio of flavoring to coffee. Today, first I got no flavoring in my latte, then I got too much. But I wasn’t going to complain a second time, so I sucked it up and drank my sugary drink. Who knew there was such a thing as too much sugar?
In awesome news, my kids did really well on the Revising and Editing section of the test. It’s where their grammar skills are tested, but instead of doing something that makes sense, like giving them a sentence and asking them to identify the type, they’re given a sentence and asked–via multiple choice–to identify what’s wrong with the sentence and how to fix it. It’s incredibly complex, but a bunch of kids passed with 80% or better, so I was pleased.
We also did art. I thought it would take two days, but most of the kids finished today, so I’ll have to find something for them to do tomorrow. But the art projects turned out well. I’ll take pictures of them once they’re hung so you all can see.
Okay, I can make it through tomorrow. And then next week, we’ve got PD on Monday and then we start RTI on Tuesday, which… it might not be a disaster, but right now, I don’t exactly see how. I’ll get into it more in another post. It’s just… crazy.
