WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:

# 1. Post a blog 3 times a week (M, W & F) of at least 200 words. In your blogs you could:
-describe something you learned
-explain something that surprised you
-give an update about stuff you're working on
-explain how you solved a problem
-tell a cool story

Also include images, sounds or video from your project.

# 2. Respond thoughtfully to another blogger's posts on this site. Post 1 of these response-blogs per week (200 or more words each).

Each of you is expected to contribute to this blog--even if you're working with another student or with a group.

I'm really looking forward to following your project via your postings! Have fun!

Feeling Frustrated

My patience was definitely tested today. The day started off fairly normally, except for the fact that we started teaching in the morning as opposed to after lunch. I liked that because it gave us the extra time that we needed to fine tune the last details for our performance. However, things quickly went downhill once Mrs. Wilkerson left and a substitute took her place for the day. Now I've always known that these kids were bad - they don't listen, the talk too much, and they can't work together. But I love them anyway. Ohhhhh oh oh but today, I was SO shocked with their behavior that I wanted to leave early. They were so rude to Daijah, the substitute, and I! They were yelling and misbehaving and didn't listen to any of our instructions. It makes me so upset because I know that they are better than this! They would have never behaved like this in front of Mrs. Wilkerson. I left Chambers feeling nothing but frustration and disappointment today. 

Oh! And there are still some students who haven’t memorized their parts yet. I really hope that they do because I don’t want any of the kids to be reading off of cards during the performance…I know they can do better than that.



On the bright side, Daijah bought the Chinese take-out boxes, rice, and dumplings for the performance. Thankfully, Mrs. Wilkerson is going to give us some money to offset the costs of all the food, decorations, utensils, etc. that we will need for Wednesday night.
