To start things off, we had Monday off. I guess it was our spring break (or something like that.) Anyway, Tuesday, was district Music Festival, and let me count the number of students present during the day:
- Earth Science: 1 out 18
- Chemistry: 6 out of 14
- Life Science: 8 out 15
- Physical Science: 5 out of 11
- Biology: 2 out of 12
- Study Hall: 9 out of 19
- Advanced Biology: 3 out of 4
So, now on to Wednesday. Wednesday we started taking the ITBS (Iowa Tests of Basic Skills). All morning I was testing 9th graders. So no actual classroom work done. In the afternoon, I just had study hall, and Advanced Biology.
Today, we are finishing ITBS tests and will have a "normal" schedule in the afternoon. By normal, we are going to have the first three periods. So, for the past 2 days I will not be teaching ANY physical science to 8th graders, and the past 3 days there will be no biology.
BUT WAIT ... IT GETS BETTER
You see, tomorrow is Junior High Academic Olympics, and all 7th and 8th grade students will be participating. Essentially, that means another day with no 8th grade students.
So, how much educating have I done this week, well not much. I really can't introduce too much new material, and trying to find enough review material to fill in the next two weeks will be difficult.
Next Week's Schedule:
- Monday: Normal Day (if that really exists)
- Tuesday: No Junior High or Elementary Students Present due to High School Academic Olympics (no teaching that day)
- Wednesday: Normal Day
- Thursday: Early Out for Easter Vacation.
Next Week is almost as messed up as this week.
