Random Musings

Only one more day of school!

I think I've found a house I like. But I might like another one, too.

I'm leaving town this weekend for my cousin's wedding and another cousin's 25th anniversary party. It will be my second wedding weekend in a row,and I have another one the next weekend. What can I say? I have amazing friends!

Finishing up end-of-year paperwork and trying to figure out what I need/pack for summer school since it's not at my school is kinda hectic.

My fingers feel like icicles.

I've already got my gradebook set up for next year, all of next year's conduct charts are run off as well as morning work for the year. I'm thinking about having homework run off, too.

We watched most of Sound of Music today in class, but couldn't figure out how to make the second disc play without a remote.

When I went into Blockbuster last night and asked if they had any VHS, the guy laughed at me.

I'm blogging instead of cleaning up my classroom.

I think that might be all of my currently random musings.

Prince Caspian: Another Blockbuster

I went to see Prince Caspian last night and thought it was absolutely amazing! The costumes, the actors, the cinematography, all of it was extremely well done. It had been a little while since I had seen the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and I've not read any of the books, so I started off a little confused. However, the story is superb! I highly recommend it!

Who says there aren't miracles any more?

Amazing story.

there are 4 days of school left
kids are going wild
grades are due today (but i'm not finished grading)
kids are going wild
my partner teacher is out
kids are asking a thousand questions
the copier isn't working
kids won't stop talking
my partner teacher is going to be out tomorrow too
kids are sooo ready for summer, they won't stop talking
another teacher on my team just told me she won't be here tomorrow either
we had an ice cream party today (Awesome TAKS scores!)
we're going to have a pizza party tomorrow (TAKS is over!)

Did I mention my partner teacher is out today?

It-Say Own-Day

My class was talking as we lined up for lunch, so I instructed them to sit back down.

I notice one student is writing, and I ask him what he is doing. "I'm writing??" he says hesitantly. "What are you writing?" "I'm writing words in pig latin."

Only 4 more days.

(not soon enough!)

To be told: "You were right"

Ahhhh, the satisfaction!

Yes, I do know where a comma is needed...even though some may disagree with me.
