First day back..

Today was the first day back, and a full moon. The 2 are never a good combination for the students. They were restless after the 11 day break already, not having to add the craziness of the full moon. Its awful to say, but it really does affect their actions and behavior.

Overall, the day went well. We didnt get a whole lot accomplished. We did some review, made up some missing work, did a warm-up. All that good stuff. My computers class probably got the most done - they did an assignment on urban legends - it didnt get done, but mainly because most of the students got caught up reading the various legends.. which is good - at least they were reading, and deciding whether they could really be true or not. The one that really got them, was a 5 1/2 year old in 1935 that gave birth to a baby boy. According the snopes.com (which is a site that determines the validity of urban legends) it is true. Who would have guessed.. They researched it, and found out that it was, and found out how/why it happened. It was good research practice for them as well.

My dance girls have decided to dance tonight. We will see how that goes, last time they danced they made me irriated because they messed around during it. If that happens again - dance will be done.. im not giving up my prep time after school for these girls if they are going to goof around when it comes to performance time. Hopefully, it will all be great tonight!!
