Today was a teacher work day--no students, who get a 4-day weekend. I graded my last class of final exams, input the scores, calculated semester grades, recorded citizenship grades--in other words, this semester is in the books.
I'm looking forward to a 3-day weekend, and darn it, I'm getting a sore throat.
I hear you. I input my test scores. Then I crazily decided to complete rearrange my room. I don't know what got into me. TEN HOURS LATER....I have a week of lesson plans filed, all the papers and intro to the new classes ready to go and my room is clean, clean, clean. I know that won't last, but at least the new classes start out with a clean room.
ReplyDeleteI got my grading done yesterday and just came into put the grades in. One of our meetings was canceled which sped up my day.
ReplyDeleteCleaned out a cabinet drawer and threw away a ton of old tests and stuff I haven't used in about 3 years.
First semester dragged on towards the end...hopefully this one goes faster. Bring on the CSTs now :-)
ok, curiosity has got the best of me. What the heck is a "citizenship grade" and how is it related to math?
ReplyDeleteWork day?! Oh, to have a work day. We lost ours three years ago because the state stepped in and said we weren't meeting our nationally-mandated 1080 hours of contact time.
ReplyDeleteSeat time requirements are a joke.
A citizenship grade is, essentially, a grade for behavior.
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask what a citizenship grade was as well. Other than maintaining order in the classroom, still at a loss to understand what it has to do with math. :)
ReplyDeleteRest your voice over the weekend and take care!
In our district teachers give two grades, one for the course content and the other for citizenship/behavior.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could give citizenship grades. As it is we get to play phone tag with parents too busy to pay attention to their kids behavior at home, so why would they worry about it at school?
