 This week seemed to take forever but then it was Friday. Very strange.

There was only one state assessment this morning and we ended up with four tests that will have to be reset, but none of them in the lab because I am awesome. I grabbed the test tickets I needed early but the individual testers ended up with the wrong tickets. It didn't take long to sort it all out and when the principal is back on Monday she can get the tickets reset so they will be ready to go when those tests roll around.

Other than the one test I didn't really have a lot going on today outside of the usual classes coming to the lab. I went and installed Reading Counts on all of the second grade laptops. It's usually third grade that comes to the lab to take those tests but now the second graders won't have to worry about coming down. My second grade literacy group went relatively well. They acted like second graders but not second graders after a gallon of Red Bull, so that was good.

Tonight was the school talent show. It was pretty cool. There was some decent talent, also some not so decent talent, but overall it was pretty cute. It opened with one family of kids doing there version of Harlem Shake, which included their recently adopted Asian little sister who really got into it. There was a first grader who sang Grand Old Flag and she was waving a little flag but she was nervous and never raised the flag above her waist. There was a kindergartener, who is normally pretty reserved, set up behind half a drum set and she told jokes with her mom, doing the drum hit thing after each joke. That was pretty good. There was also a third grader who did the Gangnam Style parody, Minecraft Style, and he wore a box over him that was painted like a Minecraft character in a tuxedo. And there was an entire third grade class, including the teacher, that got up and did a Three Little Pigs rap.

It is an hour past my bedtime and I have been tired for the last two hours so I am going to go to bed. I'm not sure what I will do tomorrow before work but I hope it involves video games. It has been awhile.
