Odd block schedule: Period 1 , begin NOVA Kaboom video. Period 5 and 7 do white powder lab(after a week off from labs due to the grape and broken model airplane incidents).
Day felt hectic, kids are a bit more hyper, we just had the daylight savings time switch and we now have sunny warm perfect weather after almost 2 months of clouds and rain. I need a vacation more that the kids to. My colleagues feel the same way about the hyperness of the the kids. We hope next week will be better for kids behavior.
I'm almost recovered from the intensity of the final weeks of science olympiad. My room is a mess and I need to get it cleaned up. Open house next week. I need to get ready for that.

Week 26, Day 2: An even day calm after the storm and a new problem.
Tuesday, ODD BLOCK SCHEDULE: Following my subsitute lesson plan from yesterday but finishing the Nova Kaboom video instead of Scientific American Frontiers Video:Hydrogen Hopes.
Substitute lessons are usually nice and easy and it makes it easy for me when I come back to school after an absence.
A student from my period 5 class came in to see me at lunch about some missing work. I asked how things went with the sub yesterday. He said some kids were not working and some throwing things like erasers and that one of my plastic models (a 1/72 scale F-16) was broken and hidden in a drawer.
Grapes thrown and smashed last Thursday in period 7 and now Hooliganism in period 5.
THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT LET KIDS SIT WHERE THEY WANT.
Because of earning high grades and nobody failing at semester, I allowed these 2 classes to make their own seating chart. It was a bit noisy but I let it go anyway. This is my reward. I have to say that period 1 and 2, my two early morning classes, have managed pretty well with their own seating chart as did my period 8 Honors Science Class. I did not allow my period 4 kids to make their own seating chart. Period 4 is one of the best behaved. I have learned my lesson.
