Whew! It was a long week! We had to prep for nine week exams while gearing up for the FCAT that is bearing down on us.
This made for some tired and cranky students, which led to some tired and cranky teachers.
After grading two of my classes’ exams, I sighed in disappointment. Many of my students had failed.
What to do, what to do?
After talking to my friend, Barb, I analyzed each question, decided to throw out six, found one error on my key, and went back through the Scantron answer sheets that my students had filled out. I gave credit to the students who’d correctly answered the incorrectly-marked question and added bonus points for each of the six thrown out questions they’d answered correctly. This helped tremendously but left me feeling exhausted! I didn’t leave my classroom until 5pm! On a Friday!!
It didn’t take much brainpower to decide what kind of pick-me-uppper I needed…
I almost fell asleep as the girl fixed my nails, but I got to work during my pedicure, fixing those test grades (I’m a glutton for punishment) while the spa chair massaged my back and the gal prettied up my toes.
All-in-all, I feel a lot better.
Good thing.
I have a LONG weekend of work ahead of me.
I’ll think about that in the morning though. I’m going to veg in front of the TV for the evening, admire my fancy hands and feet, and knit a while.
