End of the week. Crazy-ish week. But just about over. Which is good, as I woke up with sinus congestion. Not the kind in my nose, the kind in my ears. Weather is warm and will be in the upper 80s, which is a precursor to a hot summer, fast.
I spent a good bit of yesterday reminding myself that my students' behavior is not my problem, it is theirs. Not taking ownership, and not feeling responsible was interesting, and I am actually sort of believing it. It certainly made a few things and behaviors easier to let go with a warning rather than trying to change it right then and there.
So there is today, which is Friday, which should be easy to coast through. Some papers to grade over the weekend, some grades to invent/input so the kids know where they stand. Then Monday is the calm before the four-day test, which is actually only mornings for four days, with the afternoons an eggshell walk to make sure you don't accidentally teach something that might be on the test, but not showing movies. A fine line, with the kids keyed up.
