Busy (ish) Day

Okay it was a busy day, just not really from a teaching standpoint. Today we journaled, took about an hour and a half of ITBS tests, and I taught some religion. After that we had lunch, music, library and computer (I plan computer), and math. That’s it. As you can imagine, I didn’t do much. Except for computer… I did retest the kids on STAR. (It’s part of AR and our reading curriculum. Basically it tests for the students’ most appropriate reading level (on a grade level scale).) Anyway, I am SO excited because my kids have shown a lot of improvement in the past month. Ya know, the time that I’ve been teaching! People, I’m talking bringing kids up by half a grade level. THAT’S FANTASTIC.  It pretty much made my entire day… which is saying something because it’s been a long day. Hence why I’m posting now.

After school today, I attended my glorious student teaching class. You know, the one that meets for one hour a week and can totally suck your entire soul because you realize again that you are still a real college kid and you actually have to accomplish things (like papers- yuck) outside of your classroom. Anyway, today in class I realized that next Tuesday (7 days) EVERYTHING is due. All the papers, the electronic piece, the whole nine yards. Cool.

After class, I did not pass go, did not collect $500, but proceeded straight to track practice. At the dome. Sprint workout (1x500, 8x150). Immediately afterward, I (a BCU basketball insider and charger spirit extraordinaire) attended the girl’s basketball (we lost) and boy’s basketball (we WON!) games. Which leads me to the here and now where I sit on my couch with my sola amiga Monica, listening to Jason Aldean Pandora, and thinking about all the things that I should be doing while contemplating going to bed. I’m thinking one half hour of work, followed by some well-deserved and much needed sleep time.

Until tomorrow…
Peace, love, and sweet baby angel dreams,

Jayna
