Mar. 6th, 2007 08:48 pmI got new tires! A pain and a half, but they're there. Also a PS3 which is infinitely more exciting.
So I wrote my first lesson plan this weekend. I mean I used someone else's idea for a lesson, but I wrote out the official plan to be filed and all. I swear, it didn't take long, but working out the differences between "overview", "purpose,' and "objectives" was just annoying. And the thought of having to go through and figure out which ELARs it fits (Sharlotte's doing that now) just about gives me fits. The thought of having to do this for everything I do everyday is almost enough to make me swear of teaching. But then I remind myself that paperwork is a universal evil.
I was abruptly reminded today just how far north I am. It reached 65 or 70 this afternoon. And one of my third graders was saying at recess that he didn't want to race because it was too hot! It was so weird.
In some bad news, two of my coworkers were at the bar and they were invited to an after party. They went there, thought some of the boys looked a little young, but they weren't entirely sober at that point... it ended up that it was a highschool party some kid threw without his parents permission. Their jobs are in danger, and the girl who works at the highschool has been suspended. Really, even if she's not fired, I can't imagine she'll have an easy time working at that high school again.
So that's my life right now. I hope everything is going well for you.
