Full week

Hung around for the first home FB game last night.
First tutoring session, got some things done and then game time at 5:30.
After working in a hot school all day, I had considered bailing, but glad I stayed.
Fixed the mascots costume; met parents/ other people; some Freeport people around; students speaking Spanish outside of class.
Eventually, the heat got to me and left just after the 3rd quarter began of the JV game.
Home around 8.

Week in general went pretty good.
And it is nice to return to the enjoyment of teaching- for the sake of teaching, and not having to think of other things going on.
Negative that the school/ district in general lacks amenities- available items don't work; one copier (getting crazy); small-town mentality.

Spanish class is definitely back into swing.
The preliminary lesson is always the most engaging- the "hook" that keeps them.
First test, Tuesday, is going to be a practice to get them used to the assessment format.
Worked out the semester plan.
Going to be tough for Spanish 2 kids, but workable.

Art is still lacking.
Part of it is that I am really not enthused, which I think bleeds out a bit.
And I am a bit out of the loop with it.
Original plan not working, so had to revamp a bit.
First couple of blow ups with students.  One dropped/ pulled out due unknown reasons- told that it would be better for me; Other stayed in class.

Getting used to very long days- out the door by 6:30'ish, home around 5.
Grad class on Thursdays, so I leave early on those days.
Open House on Wednesday- will be a very, very long day.

Slept nearly 10 hours.
Feeling OK.
Long list of things to do this weekend (extended- Labor Day, thank goodness).
Gotta get moving.
