Test schedule and period 5 and 7. Same lesson as yesterday ( elements in the human body)
Testing day 2. Lots of fun with the students I monitored as they waited to take their test with their 7th grade AB teacher. Today they were to work on a flip book about the Renaissance notable people. I pulled out my heat expanding embossing powder and multi colored card stock and all had a great time.
The lesson went much better today. Knowing the students were not familiar with protractor work made the lesson easier to carry out. Also, the students were not flipp'n crazy goofy as they were yesterday late afternoon. I do get a bit moody having two periods back to back with no break.
I hope this helps.

Week 33, Day 2: Craziness
Testing schedule , then period 2 and 4
Graphing the top 10 elements in our bodies and calculating their weight in pounds.
I did not give any test today. We test by the students Academic Block teacher. While a teacher's AM classes were testing the PM class was hanging out with me.
After lunch I found out that most students in my period 2 class do not know how to use a protractor, an assumption I made.
Period 4 came in into the class as if they were clowns and this was a carnival, one student out of their seat then on the floor rolling and hooting and running around. A second student was spraying an aerosol and when I asked for the can, the student looked me in the eye, put it in their bag, zipped it up and grinned at me. The bag and the student were delivered (by me) to the 8th grade office. I managed my frustration and anger and got the class going.
After all this I had a parent-student meeting in which the student showed all adults in the room that they are talk back-a-tive, and defiant and rude.
This was my after noon.
I hope this helps.
