It was really rough getting back into the swing of things today. My students kept insisting that they shouldn't have to do any work this week, since when I was gone last week they did no work at all. I don't blame them for being reluctant to start intervention again after the FCAT tests are done and over with and they now have no motivation to be better readers - I am feeling that same reluctance and lack of motivation. In my first class, I had to drop the whole lesson for the day in order to yell and give out detentions, and in my second class, I made four of my six students cry. What a day.
My third graders were a relief, though. They genuinely seemed to have missed me. In the after-school program, we did a science experiment where we got to make ice cream. What fun!
