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
