I have 3 more days with my lovely students. Seniors' last day was yesterday, so I have one class with three juniors and another with on students at all!! My other four classes are mostly sophmores, so we're together till the end. LOL
We will spend 3 days prepping for an exam that experience shows they will skip or fail. All but a handfull passed the OGT and if their grades are good enough, they are exempt from the final anyway. I will only have a few. I do, however, like to keep them working right up until the end, so the review is worth points. Also, especially for those not taking the exam, a final recap of the semester's learning is very beneficial.
I'm late, and we are hoping that I am pregnant. I'm going to take a test in the morning. I know it's early but that's what EPT stands for. I really think I might be, though. I had this weird sensation come over me today (I thought I had started, but it was a false alarm) and I was just, in that moment, absolutely sure. It wasn't an epiphany or anything so cerebral, it was an actual feeling that spread over me, in the same sense that an orgasm does. It was soft and calming, relaxing and peaceful. Very strange, but the memory is still lingering enough that I still believe. Only time will tell.
Not too much else going on. My sophmores have decided that they don't want to do any more work, but I "force" them to anyway. They are used to me not allowing free days and such. One senior (yesterday) said, "Mrs., you've been teaching 5 years and have only shown one movie? We didn't even finish the movie! That's messed up!!"
Math is too important to waste time. Algebra takes practice!!! If I can't make them understand that, then at least I can convince them to do it anyway (sometimes LOL).
BTW, the drama queens are hanging around my desk when they finish their work and stopping by my room just to chat and fill me in on their "important" gossip. I think I liked it better when they were mad at me...
