I am SWAMPED (get it?) by people turning in late work. This is going to have to stop next 6 weeks. I’m spending all of my time grading late work rather than preparing for class. Who wants to do worksheets and memorize facts for some test? I’d rather you learn!

I have been contacting parents if I’m super worried about you. If I haven’t gotten to yours yet, don’t worry – I will!

Today, We just watched more of The 13th Warrior, played review games, and Ms. Miller worked with people.

We are going to review for the test tomorrow and *hopefully* finish the movie on Friday. Based on my classes performances during the movie this week, I don’t think that we’ll be having very many in the future. It gave me more work that I needed – I had to get people to stop talking, redirect people, and wake people up. I spent the past two days very frustrated and don’t plan on doing that to myself again anytime soon. I’m not going to assign busy work while we watch a movie – that creates even MORE work for me.

Play those review games!
