Day One Hundred Eleven

Today was one of those days that just worked. My lesson plan was pretty simple: reading books for twenty minutes, time to share current events write-ups, and then a little cause and effect assignment. Students had to use the information in the articles they read yesterday to explain the points in history leading up to the main conflict in the books they're reading.

It was perfect, timing-wise, and you all know I love that. But it also really showed me students' understanding of the history in question. Plus, a lot of them- more than usual- were eager to share what they'd written when I asked for volunteers.

Let me tell you about the best thing, though. I've got a special needs student who's been dealt a rough hand in life, and school's been a massive struggle, so I've been trying (and everyone has been trying) to figure out how to help him. I had a breakthrough recently because he told me multiple choice questions are a strength for him, so I started modifying some of my assignments to be multiple choice rather than open response. He started completing work, and seeing his grade go up, and that's encouraged him to engage more in class. Now, today's assignment? Couldn't really make that multiple choice, so I wasn't sure how it would go. But all he did was ask if he could type rather than handwrite (yes), and then he took off on it with no need for assistance from me.

I ran and told his case manager, Mr. P, as soon as school was done: this student's completing his work, he's reading during SSR, he's finally having some success. Mr. P was happy to hear it and jokingly asked me why I didn't work in special education instead of regular education. I said I'm not always good at figuring out what to do, but that I did get really good training in college regarding special ed. law, making modifications, differentiating instruction, etc... It's definitely been helpful throughout my career to have had that.

Another awesome thing today- totally different- was having the bulk of my APGOV students come in during flex time to do some review and keep the course knowledge in their heads for the exam in May. We started by checking out some of the resources on AP Classroom (actually, we started by talking about what's happened with the government since the first semester ended) and then played a round of Kahoot so they could check how much they remember. That was a ton of fun.

And now it's the weekend! Woohoo!

YALL MY BROTHER IS ABOUT TO GET THE CONFESSION AND BAD TOUCH EVENTS THIS IS NOT A DRILL

[nostalgic-bee]

The fact that its been a year since i first watched TOH feels fake-

idk i vividly remember sitting in my dorm room procrastinating all my assignments because i was just so invested i couldn't imagine doing anything else until i finished this show

and i got so invested so quickly which hasn't happened with a show in so long but i found it so easy to get invested in the characters, the relationships and the story

I have a lot i could say but alas my brain refuses to let it happen

I wish i watched it sooner but I'm glad that i watched it at all, Lumity is incredibly important to me and I'm so happy a ship like them exists in media today, they are just so sweet and well written, I love all the sweet platonic and found family relationships we get.

This show deserved better, I have so much respect for the crew for making season three as engaging and as good as it is especially considering they had to keep it to 2 and a half hours, but it deserved to have a full season.

Anyway TOH is a good show and I’ve met the coolest people bc of it, this show deserves the hype it gets, it’s a beautiful show and I’m thankful to Dana and the crew for creating it <3

i've decided to mod cyberpunk *more* and get some clothes and cyberware options. so of course i've decided to do it two days after a big patch. and of course the list of additional mods to make it all work is huge. and of course i've installed a bunch of them only to get to the last one and see that that one *specifically* isn't updated and is causing crashes now. so i can't play cyberpunk at all until this one mod updates.

Day Ninety-One

My male colleagues had all the jokes this morning about being classified as female thanks to one of the President's executive orders. Obviously, I'm the one they chose to share said jokes with, so that was quite a way to start the day.

It was a lot less goofy after that, but it was still a good time. My Global Studies students finished watching the video on World War I that they'd started yesterday. We discussed it afterwards, of course. I went over the questions I'd had them answer, then fielded any additional questions they had. I teed up the next lesson, which will be about the aftermath of the war, just before the bell. It was solid.

My APGOV students had what I jokingly referred to as a "choose your own adventure" day. It's the second to last day of class. Most of them worked on their final projects, some had make-up work to do, some wanted to retake their last test. I left it up to them to decide how to use the time.

Hard to believe we're almost done!
