Friday

I survived the first week of school.  I LOVE my mornings.  I have three classes of 5th graders who are excited, interested, helpful, and wonderful.  As for my afternoons, BLEH!  Two classes of 4th graders that are noisy, don't know what a chair is for, can't write anything I ask them even if it is copying it from the board.  The classes in the afternoon also take, on average, 20 minutes longer to do the daily lesson than the morning classes.  This means they do not get to watch the enrichment science videos (some Bill Nye the science guy), play review games, or have any meaningful discussions.  It is all classroom management and it is making me grumpy.

Tonight's walk was 1.5 miles in 26 minutes.  I found out tonight that I can run .25 miles without stopping.  YAY.  However my jog is still almost as fast as my fast walk.  Boo.
