New day, same old thing. More MAP testing at work. Today was the
last day with scheduled tests but there are still a handful of kids
that need to take tests tomorrow. And if they don't, oh well, they
won't have scores for the Winter round of MAP testing.
When I wasn't testing (which felt rare today), I worked on
storybooks, had a couple classes in the lab, and went to the first
grade assembly for their Kansas Day performance. There was a little
bit of choreography so it was worth it.
This afternoon I had a few fifth graders come to the lab to work on
papers about the history of archery. I'm assuming they got in
trouble during PE, where they are currently doing archery stuff,
because they were spending their PE time researching and writing
these papers and they were assigned by the principal. The principal
emailed me beforehand and told me to keep them separated in the lab
and it was kind of funny when they came in and tried to convince me
that the principal said they were supposed to work together. Two of
them used the internet and the other one used an almanac. The one
with the book was actually done writing his rough draft first. Take
that internet. One of the other kids thought, instead of 'bow and
arrows' that it was 'bowing arrows'. And interesting take. They
were in the lab for over an hour, made decent progress, and weren't
too annoying. They were a little worked up when they first came in
and the lab was empty but they settled down once the second grade
class came in.
Yesterday Chipotle night was missed due to my brother's birthday. So
I decided to go there tonight. And surprisingly, my mom and sister
both wanted stuff, so it was an actual Chipotle night. Not just me
eating half a burrito while they eat whatever else. I even had time
to show some YouTube videos before going to see the new volunteer
kid.
It was probably one of the better visits in awhile. It lasted about
an hour and ten minutes and we sat and talked about testing in school
and a lot about different books. It was pretty cool. The kid also
got a job this week as a dishwasher. He's been looking for a job
ever since he got to current placement so it nice that he was finally
able to find something. Especially after all the crap he went
through trying to get a job at Sonic, where he was hired but couldn't
actually work because he couldn't get a picture ID.
My genealogy kit from National Geographic
arrived today so I am going to try and do the cheek swabbing thing in
the morning and get that sent off tomorrow afternoon after school.
I'm kind of excited to see how that turns out. I have a vague idea
of my ancestry but with both grandpas being adopted it is a bit
limited.
All week I have been off a day. It
has always felt a day later than it was. I think this is because of
last week where we had Monday off. And every single day this week
has felt off. I was convinced for the majority of yesterday that it
was Thursday. And today really felt like a Friday. So tomorrow is
really going to suck. At least I'll get some reading done at the
theater. I just hope the weather doesn't get too crappy. It is
supposed to snow possibly tonight and maybe do other stuff later.
I'm obviously poorly informed but I remember hearing something about
something.
