Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 73 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. I had the top down on my way back and now I have the windows open. Work today was nuts. It was Freaky Friday so I had a student acting as the teacher for my classes. I made a Kahoot quiz that covered everything we've done so far this year. I told my 2nd and 3rd periods that I'd give extra credit to the students with the top 3 scores. 2nd period had fun. My 3rd period was unenthusiastic but that is just how they are in general. The student teacher came in about 10 minutes in and was like "what did you do to these students? This is boring!" So after that I told him to figure out something else to do with them. He settled on charades. My 6th period participates about as much as my 3rd period ones so of course they didn't want to do that. I told them to just get out the games and I'd give extra credit if EVERYONE participated. They did. The student said "I'll be right back". He was back a few minutes later with a ball. Yup. The class wound up playing "silent ball". At that point I just gave up and was like "go with it". He started playing music (the stuff the kids like) and they all had a good time singing, dancing, and playing. My 7th and 8th period classes spent half the time on silent ball and the other half on charades. They had fun so at least there's that. I'm back at the apartment with the Cat Crew now. I have THREE hours of tutoring this afternoon. Oh well. It is $135. That covers this week's groceries. I think I'm going to bail on going out tonight though. I have 3 hours of tutoring tomorrow morning so I don't want to be out until midnight or even later and then have to get up at 8. When the tutoring is done I will get going on dinner. That will be pretty much the big excitement for the night. What's everyone else up to this afternoon?

Not much going on here. Just trying to get rid of the remnants of a migraine. I hope your students show to make it worth getting up early on a Saturday.

I just pulled the Mexican Lasagna out of the oven and am ready to have an early lunch. It sounds like you had an okay day.

I haven't heard of students taking over classes before. I guess it makes a change.

I am currently working on sharing news stories and completing surveys under a cloudy afternoon outside
