Sick day

Welp, the swine flu hit Noel Middle School. And since I haven't felt too well in the last week, I decided to take tomorrow to get better and get organized.

The students have benchmark exams which they hate- and so they were acting up today once again. The second day of the week is tough for them.. But I have gotten SO much valuable advice from wonderful people at my school and not at my school. I have a plan and I have been affirmed that I DO know what I am doing, that I am doing well I just need to be more consistent and firm with them. I have good relationships with them now which is something you can't fake, and I am myself in the classroom. But my class is too large and it takes way too long to get back on track.

So I am taking tomorrow to catch up on sleep and vitamin C and get some of my Unit Plan as well as TILA work done. A few people have given me the advice that I need to just NOT do anything related to school but I think I really need to be away from it for a day to appreciate it and get the work done NOW so I can be caught up and not doing SO much work every night when I get home.

Peace and no more swine flu-
