There’s not much that I actually liked about this week. I’m frustrated because all the wonderful activities that I’ve had planned for the week seem to have all been sacrificed to “Red Ribbon Week”. This is a week where the kids dress up as silly as possible, eat sugar, go on field trips, and have assemblies. I hate it.
Yes, I realize that it’s fun for the kids to mix things up a bit. And I know it’s important for them to learn that it’s wrong to cheat and be dishonest. But I have sacrificed my lessons and my weekly plans so much this week that I feel like I might just go a little nutty. Even tomorrow interferes with my schedule because the counselors are coming to our class to give an hour of instruction about bullying. On the plus side, while they have taken over my class, I can sit quietly at my desk and grade papers. HORRAY! That almost makes it all worth it.
And all the extra lesson planning I’ve done on QARs that I didn’t have time to actually implement? Well, I guess that can get used later when I have the time teach it and do it well. In the meantime, if we can just get through Deathwatch and our narratives, I’ll be happy.
