Oops!

To my blog-reading friends, sorry it's been so long! I've been extremely busy helping my best friend plan her wedding, supporting my kids at sporting events (our basketball team made it to the Elite Eight), running my little brother around town, getting paperwork together to buy my house, and just generally dealing with being a first year teacher on top of all this!

I gave my Algebra II students a test Friday. It was over a LONG chapter. We reviewed for 3 days and they still complained (they don't always study...)! So I put off grading them this weekend thinking they might be a bit of a bear to grade. But I did take them home... I tried to be good (I'm not really sure I ever intended to do it over the weekend). Anyway, I took them out of my book bag in order to find the few that weren't finished so those students could finish today, and I just went to take them out of my bag, and what do you know, I left them at school! THIS was HONESTLY a mistake. Not doing them on the weekend... that was a choice. But I was going to at least get started tonight... guess I'm not now because there is no way I'm driving to the school and sneaking around those dark hallways to retrieve them now!

I'll miss you all if the kids riot and kill me tomorrow... (kidding! They're good kids... usually)      ;)


So what else have we been up to? Well, we celebrated Pi Day in all of my classes! We gave each digit a different color, then made a paper chain with each digit corresponding to it's color. I think we went through about 400 digits! It was fun. We also ate delicious round things!
