a full week? what's that?

I'm looking forward to a full week of teaching next week. I can't remember when i last taught for five full days. Between the snowy/icy days were holidays and pre-scheduled half days. There are some students who don't seem to get that school missed now just gets tacked on in June (or July...we are already up to the last week in June on the new revised schedule). All in all this "week" has been pretty good. My classes are all engaged in their new units and the ELL team is coordinating for the student Language assessment happening in the spring.
next week is a good one in that we are having the "Rachel's Challenge" group in for an assembly and the "mix it up" lunch. Both of these are to encourage changes is the heart of the students to acceptance and less clique-ishness. Rachel is the first student who was killed in the Columbine shooting. If you want more info fo to www.rachelschallenge.com . I have seen high schoolers having a positive reaction to this presentation.
I scored the last home game for the girls' v-ball game yesterday, 8th graders went out with their first home win! Tight game all around no blow outs but strong serves from a few of our girls.
Caught a cold...just tired and a hacky cough that I'm working on. I think I'll be okay for the gym tomorrow. My throat just too dry to go in today. This weekend will be busy with getting a bunch of little thing done.

excuse me while i cough.......
