Awkward & Awesome Monday :)

Maybe it’s because I haven’t officially started my professional career, but I don’t hate Mondays (yet). The realization that Spring Break is legit over was very heartbreaking, but I pressed forward; I missed my babies and I was excited to see my department and the other faculty members, too.

So today in English 3, we went over “The Crucible” final test that they took before the break. I made very few mistakes while grading and I rectified them all, so yay J We did more “100 Words…” vocabulary and did the anticipation guides n the SUPER SWEET packet I made for “A Raisin in the Sun”.

In English 2, we went over some old work and then moved right along to FCAT reading. We were going to do word trees with prefixes today, except they don’t know how to behave, so I let Mr. Archer torture them with FCAT information. We’ll reattempt the word trees tomorrow. Generally, when I mention crayons and markers, they behave so they can play. That wasn’t the case today. Here are the instructions:

Now, this part I have seen this on a few of my friends’ blogs, and I want to give it a try. So, introducing “Awkward and Awesome Monday”!!

Awesome:

-          Student: “Hi, Ms. Baker! I missed you so much- can I hug you?”

-          I was able to take a nap AND blog today. Hopefully I can keep this sweetness up!

-          I only have like 17 days left with my kiddies. That’s not the awesome part, though- GRADUATION IS IN 33 DAYS!!!!!!!!

-          Student: “’A Raisin in the Sun’?! I’ve wanted to read this for so long!”

-          I intercepted a note between two students in 4^th period. The note was 85% about how cool I am and how these two students love me

Awkward:

-          Student: “I got tased in the butt on Daytona Beach!!”

-          Rain made my hair do this sweet side-swoop thing, and I looked like a flippin’ Who from Whoville, minus the weird nose… Looked a little something like this:

-          Student: “I saw you topless in Daytona, Ms. Baker!”I actually heard this from about 3 students today. For the record, I WAS NOT in Daytona AT ALL over Spring Break- check my 365 if you don’t believe me. I didn’t leave Ocoee. Apparently I have a doppelganger.


Until tomorrow- peace, love, and Oxford Commas :)
