Testing Week

 

      This week may drive me crazy or really close to it.  Testing time for a PE teacher is the worst because you get all the students that are not testing or have already tested due to some special circumstance. Not to mention I also get my regular classes if they are not testing on that day or if they have already finished. So what that means is that sometimes me and one other teacher are watching a room, slightly larger than a basketball court, with 100+ students in it and if it is not during certain periods I don’t have anyone else but me in here.  I also have had to eat my lunch while watching students the last few days, so no rest for the weary. Needless to say it is Wednesday and I feel like I have worked 2 weeks in just this one half of a week. Spring Break is next week and it can’t come fast enough.

Till Tomorrow,

Baseball season #2

Baseball is here but of course with the rain we can’t really get a lot done. Most of our days have been spent indoors in the gym at school and we can get somethings done but not a whole lot. With that yesterday we are practicing in the gym again and in the middle of one player throwing a bullpen the lights go out. My initial thought was it was just in the gym. Then upon further investigation it is the entire school. So, I asked the resource officer and come to find out it was not just the school but the entire city and some outside of the city. So, for the last 20 minutes of practice we sat in the dark gym waiting on the power to come back on and when it didn’t it was time to go. This season has been somewhat crazy already and we haven’t even played a game yet. At this rate we either need a swim team or start an indoor waffle ball league. Till Tomorrow, D. Pounders

Post 2

      As a teacher I see about 250 students a day (give or take). Most days are fairly good with no problems but there are days when you wonder what in the world just happened and how did I keep my sanity. I was fully expecting Valentine’s Day to be one of the days but for the most part everything went well this year. even though the kids where hopped up on sugar they managed to hold things together. A lot of that credit can go to administrators and parents for holding the students accountable if they misbehave. Thank you to all of you.      Now before leaving home My wife and I gave our kids a small Valentines Day present and a card to tell them how much we Love them. They were both dry excited about their candy and a small gift. It is always so much fun to see the look on their faces when they get something.     Tonight though my wife and I will spend the evening at the church listening to ways to eliminate debt through a livestream. I ...
