A Full Week

I started work January 5th and only now worked my first full week. We have had half days due to parent teacher conferences, days off for the presidents and MLK, a week for winter break, snow days and late starts, and professional development days. I was trying really hard to not work a full 5 days the entire year, but my streak ended yesterday. And what a week - the students are in the middle of standardized testing and it has really effected the kids even though they were only testing for no more than 60 minutes per day. I had to diffuse a fight that was supposed to happen between the jocks and non-jocks, talk to all their parents (who were not happy to hear their sons were planning on fighting), register all the 8th grade students for high school classes, calm other students down who were freaked about testing, talk with fueding girls, and make work on spread sheets from last years standardized tests.

Whew. I am so glad it is the weekend. Bring on the laundry.
