My kids have been enjoying science more this week because they get to work on their projects instead of just taking notes. I don’t blame them for disliking notes, but sometimes it’s the best way for me to communicate the information they need to know for the tests. I’m going to try to do more projects or at least in-class demonstrations so science is more interesting. I also might add more charts/drawings instead of just straight notes. Today is one of my longer days with my kids and they’ve still been talking too much in class. So during penmanship I had the last straw when they kept talking when they were supposed to be working so they wrote lines for me today. They know what they’re supposed to do (show respect, not talk when others are talking, raise your hand to speak, etc), so I ask them what they should write and then combine some of those for them to write. I didn’t have tutorias after school because Mr. Lara needed them for math, so I stayed and did some work instead. I was going to work out, but the weather has not been motivational this week with cooler, cloudier, misty weather so I went home and took a nap instead.
