Well, volleyball again seems to be eating my spare time. I do enjoy the sport, and working the girls, however it just eats up time. In fact, all of Friday afternoon, all I did was volleyball work. Even though I was supposed to be "teaching", I infact had to get ready for games. (O.k., so I only had to give a test, and supervise a study hall, but if I did indeed have to teach, it might not have been done with the best quality instruction.
Well, so far my volleyball team is doing well. We had a triangular this past weekend and kicked some tooshie. My 7th/8th grade team played two 8th grade teams. When playing just my 8th graders, we really kicked butt. When playing primarily 7th graders, we still won, although it was a bit harder. At the same time the 7th/8th graders were playing, I also had a team of 5th/6th graders playing teams of 7th graders. Although my younger athletes lost, the didn't lose by more than 10 points, and almost beat the host school (they lost by 2 in the final game.)
School continues to go well. Today we had a big set back in Physics. It seems that my Juniors and Seniors have difficulty writing the equation for a straight line. Yup, they couldn't figure out the slope, or put it in y-intercept form. (y=mx+b). I was absolutely appalled. So tomorrow we are going to go over today's assignment in class. Hopefully this doesn't happen all year in physics.
