Today was pretty crazy, since the kids were just as ready for the long weekend as the teachers. We had another fire drill (this one went better than the last – no one ended up in tears), and one class lost the Bill Nye video we were going to watch because they were getting light in the classroom, but for the next four glorious days I can sleep in past 6 am and not tell anyone to sit down or stop talking, hooray!

The weekend isn’t totally TFA-free, though. I am sort of bummed because I finished grading the Unit 3 tests and the average was only a 58%. The Unit 2 Average was a 68%, and I thought that I taught this unit better than the last so I was really looking forward to seeing higher scores. I have to figure out what happened there. I also have to grade their unit projects – the ones that I got, at least.

Anyways, as a happy ending for this entry, one of their questions on the Do Now today asked what they were doing for the long weekend. The best answer I got by far was, “do wat ever I want in my underwear.” Right on.
