Halloween
Me and two other science teachers dressed up as witches for Halloween. When my seniors asked me on Wednesday if I was dressing up for Halloween, I said "I'm going to be a witch on Friday", a senior quipped: "so you're not wearing a costume?"
I got my first evaluation by my principal on Thursday, which is hard (the day before Halloween, the kids are buzzing). I need a total of three for the year. I think it went alright. We had gone out into the field on Monday to profile the beach, so on Thursday, I gave them their data sheets back, and gave them graph paper and reviewed how to graph it (this was only their second time beach profiling). We then went to the Media Center and learnt how to do it in Microsoft Excel, which, as a sign of times a-changing, 100% of my students had already used Excel before. Even just five years ago, it was probably only 50% and my school actually had a separate computer class to review PowerPoint, Word, cropping images, etc.
I'm watching Rock of Love Charm School on TV, and boy, is it an addictive trainwreck!
