The Craziness of Miss C's Room

Today was a day that would make any teacher proud. I am exhausted but a very good exhausted feeling. I do not thing I sat down more than twice today at my desk and it shows. My desk is covered with papers and supplies but that can all be cleaned up later. The kids were so excited to be at school today and were showing their personalities all the time. One girl could not resist the urge to sing so we now have a rendition of the Black Eyed Peas song Boom Boom Pow that tells all of the 6 and 7 multiplication facts. It's actually quite good. Then in my afternoon class we listened to beat-boxing while learning how to graph and reviewing rounding. I got just about everything in that I had planned to do today which was great. We are crazily trying to get the students ready for their 2nd round of testing next week. All of the teachers here are somewhat in panic mode. In my opinion, it is my responsibility to teach the students and I have been doing my best in that. Therefore, I have no reason to worry. It is up to the students to take the test and there is nothing more I can do except teach again to the best of my ability after the test. I am off to go run now, take care!
