Well, I was going to post last night, but somehow didn't get around to it. As a result, I'm going to try to squeeze in a post before classes start today.
Update: During our staff meeting yesterday, our superintendent has extened the deadline for turning in semester grades until next Tuesday. I'm just wondering how many staff members complained before he changed his mind, or if he actually understands how much having the computer network down set us back. Anyway, I'm glad the deadline is extended, because that gives me the opportunity to finish grading papers on Sunday, put grades in the computer on Monday, and turn in the grades that same day.
Classes appear to be going well. 7th grade life science are starting their science fair projects, I have projects ranging from investigating the properties of hydroelectric power, to where the highest concentrations of bacteria are in the school, to determining if there is a trend in Bermuda Triangle disappearences. What amazes me is that most of the groups actually have a question that is testable. WOW!
Today looks to be easy, but I may not have enough work scheduled for the students. As a result, I may spend quite a bit of energy trying to keep the students on task, or at least, out of trouble.
Overall, glad it's Friday. (Because it's pay day! and the last day of lunch duty, until the middle of February at least.)
