I'm not sure why but its satisfying! heheJust wait until you hit the 2000 post landmark!They send you a beautiful trophy, to offset that horrible feeling of having wasted wayyyyy too much time arguing with imaginary people. Yes, imaginary. Not all of you exist.I hope.

So stoked with one of my female middle school students who completely crushed it in the boggle monthly competition.I taught her last year in elementary and all her girl friends in 6th grade were holding her back and stopping her from engaging in classes, it got to the point where I felt I was only teaching the boys, even though I went out of my way to try and engage the female learners in the lesson.So now she's free of those friends that held her back and she's killing it in classes, it's so nice to see and it's one of the few times I can see concrete evidence that I've actually had a meaningful impact on kids.
Because I had an open class on Wednesday, I taught an extra lesson that day which means today (our usual day) I didn't have to teach that class. My after school double also got cancelled because some of our students are participating in a sports competition. That means I taught exactly ONE lesson today! And it's FRIDAY!!Whoop!
1st off - first two periods with my 3rd graders are cancelled b/c they are practicing for Sports Day next week. (I like them and they're cute, but lots of energy - not complaining about a rest).2nd - found out that my Monday & Tuesday classes next week are pretty much cancelled b/c my school is have some sort of "Happy Flower" week of different activities (including making a bench(?) and Sports Day).3rd - Wednesday class is cancelled b/c of Sports Day at my 2nd school.4th - 5 Day weekend (WOOT!!)THEN...the following week I get Wednesday off b/c it's my 2nd school's birthday. I get Friday off b/c it's my 4th school's birthday.
I just found next Tuesday is Sports Day and my school is taking off Wed to Fri for Childrens Day. So I only have to teach one day next week.
