So today was NOT my day! All of my seniors, most of my juniors and a quarter of my sophomores were gone today on trips. I had a two tests and (what I think is going to be fun) an activity planned. I really didn't think that it was a good idea to move on with so many students absent so I canceled my plans. But I just feel like talking about the same thing another day is sooo boring for my students. I tried to catch up those who have been absent and teach others how to use a microscope. I feel like I am already behind what frameworks I am supposed to cover and that I'm failing my students. I have certainly put a lot of pressure on myself. Also, I found out today that my husband is leaving for Canada for 10 days for a work trip. Did I mention that I have a 10 month old daughter, full time job and a full time MAT student?!? Talk about stress!
On a good note, I have scheduled a day to visit a near by school district to observe a biology teacher that is completely AWESOME and I plan on stealing everything I can from her. And I also received my first "silly band" from a student. It is an orange pumpkin. I, however, thought it was an apple...
