Wow, it's Friday and I can really reflect and unwind from probably one of the craziest weeks of the entire year. Yet again I wish I would have started this back on August 13th! This morning I got a phone call from my principal saying we had a 2 hour delay due to fog. It was such a blessing and an answer to prayer. God really knew I needed a little extra sleep and a shortened day.
This was actually a pretty uneventful day. The kids took a vocabulary quiz and we did an assignment on Jesse Jackson's famous speech. The highlight of my day though was having lunch with Betty. She came into my class 2 times before lunch for no particular reason :) I got her a candy bar this morning. As I stopped at the gas station I asked my husband, "what kind of candy are girls eating these days!" He thought that was hilarious. She thanked me politely and we talked about boys and girl stuff!
I didn't get hung up on today which was great! On my way home from school I was on a back country road when I saw three of my 8th grade girl students walking. They had gotten dropped off at the wrong spot but they were at least 3 miles from one of their houses. My husband and I ended up driving them to the girls' house. They were all giggly and kept saying "Mrs. your car is so clean". I know I'm not supposed to drive students but I wasn't going to leave them out in the middle of the country to walk a few miles when I could take them there in 2 minutes. I'm looking forward to a weekend of sleep and also putting together a book report assignment and a unit on public speaking. Any ideas are welcome!
