Monday started roughly as I had forgotten some things to bring home Sunday night.
Tuesday 2 students found mean words about their teacher (me) written in their composition books. Not a good way to start the day. Follow that with bad words throughout the day and a staff meeting that went longer than I was expecting, and Tuesday was a tough day too.
Wednesday included students slapping others, taking neighbor's stuff, and talking about inappropriate topics. Two girls got sick so I got to clean up my first official "mess." A good portion of my students struggled on the phonics test. Yay Wednesday. Things started to get better though... Julie and I got food at the deli and then went to choir.
Thursday was better... a little less discipline problems. A little more work got done a little more quietly. Had a meeting with a parent that went well. Got a good amount of work done before coming home which is always a plus. Had another short power outage (we had had one last Thursday that lasted for 2 1/2 hours) but this one only lasted 1/2 hour. Nice, was able to get papers sorted to send home on Friday.
Friday just soared! Everyone did a super job of doing working independently without talking loudly (a rare occurrence in grade 2). Most of the day went very smoothly. We got to listen to music during Social Studies while we were drawing pictures and coloring.
Hung out with the Johnstons Friday night and Saturday. Went to the beach at Blue Waters Resort - completely amazing. Nice way to relax on the weekend. Called home for 2 hours =) One of my favorite parts of the week!
