Oh wait, that's what I do.
We are now into the second quarter. I began my unit on (drum roll please) Evolution. It's a concept the students understand far more than classification. I don't understand why. Students classify everything on a daily basis, yet they can't understand the concept of classification. What was even more frustrating is that we have to apply the information we learned in the classification unit to the evolution unit. So where do I go with that? I have to almost retake classification in order to teach evolution. Thankfully, evolution is interesting to them. They get a kick out of knowing their ancestors were more closely related to monkeys than any other creature. When we talk about that, we always elicit tons of giggles. They then feel like we had sex with monkeys. Ew.
I got rid of a student this week. Her mother has been up my butt about any types of punishments that I dole out to her child. So I gave that kid away. I wasn't allowed to punish her, yet her little &%$# was always doing something wrong. This past week I finally asked the mother what type of punishment should be allowable and she said none, that my rules were "stupid." Oh, well that's just great. That child is well on the path to becoming a member of the local prison system. If only that kid's mother could see the damage she was causing.
Everything else has been quiet. My ceiling is still leaky and every storm creates a new hole. I have a child who had to be removed from the school because the mold was causing severe allergy trouble. How sad. They came and replaced my ceiling tiles, but then it rains and gives me new holes. The insulation that lays on top of the tiles is black with mold, and the tiles themselves get moldy within a week of being put in. It's disgusting, and it saddens me that children in the 21st century living in America can't even have a school that doesn't leak when it rains. Oh, but the front office got brand new furniture and a fresh pain job this week. How nice for them.
We are gearing up for our Halloween party. Halloween is always hectic and a totally wasted educational day for us. But, it's fun. So we have the big party, get dressed up, and pray to the no fight gods that we will have a good day.
