......and counting

I feel a bit bad that I have a mental countdown to the end of the year. How can I expect my students to stay focused, when, at times, my mind is elsewhere.... garden, home projects, etc.

Week not bad, but really not all that good. I blame a lot of it on anticipation to the end of the school year. This anticipation leads to laziness, as my HS class attempted to squirrel their way out of a quiz (to no avail), and an increase in behavior issues for some of my problematic JrH students (how many times to I need to ask a student to sit down/ open textbook/ do the assignment?). But not too bad.

Spain trip a go. Paperwork processed through NETC- we are taking the catalog Spain & Andalucia with an extra day in Costa del Sol. Only nine, which is fine, but I would like at least 12 (so Hartford could go gratis). I am comfortable with nine. Will set up some sort of meeting for meet-and-greet, as I do not know any of the students. Those I have chatted with seem fine, and I have not found any (bad) behavioral issues in their files. I do wish some of my students were going. Perhaps the next trip (Costa Rica).

3rd hour students found out where I worked. Not such a big deal, although I told them not to come in until the end of the school year. They should know me as their teacher, not their waiter.

A bit of work in the garden accomplished this week.
Gym in the AMs; afternoons another story.
School work to do this weekend, but not as much as last.
