Reading test that I really don't want to talk about. IT was too long, and my students did not do as well as I know they can. I've been off in the classroom and the kids have been off as well. I've had a few attitudes crop up, and I'm trying to nip them in the bud.
1. D-Troope got one of the best scores in the class on the test. He only missed two of the 30 multiple choice questions. If he gets the help he needs, he can stay focused and do his work, and even do it well.
2. Alexander actually wrote a sentence for each open response question. For him, massive improvement. It was not contextually correct, but it was grammatically correct. That is a good start and something that we can improve.
3. Yesterday I did my phone interview for a summer job. It went well I think. I tried to keep my responses as natural as possible, even through the role-play.
I know it won't happen easily, but I would love two days in a row where we can stay on schedule and let me teach the kids what they need to be taught. Too many interruptions only runs counter to our production. So many of my kids need structure, and jumbling the schedule will not let them get what they need.
Most postive note of the day was dinner. I had a good dinner with two people at Pizza Hut, one of the new roommates and a kindergarten teacher. One of the best conversations I've had in a while. It put me in a good mindset for the evening.
