WOW!!!!! I've never had a day like today. Normally, my classes are as smooth as Jazz but today seemed like I stepped into the shoes of Miss Billie Holiday. I felt like singing, " Good Morning Heartache!" Yes morning, all of the trouble started as soon as I walked into my classroom.
Since i share my first period classroom and equipment with another teacher, I was shocked to find out the keyboard I use for my choir, was broken. One of his band members broke the cord after the game Friday night. Needless to say, my choir couldn't practice today and we're preparing for an upcoming performance.
Next, I had a classroom full of ENERGETIC second graders. It seemed as if the lesson I had prepared for today wasn't interesting enough. I couldn't seem to keep their attention. I almost had a breakdown. I had never seen them act unruly. I had to step out and gather myself. On top of that, every time I started them on a roll, the intercom interrupted me.
Finally, after school today I started having Thriller dance practice for the fifth and sixth graders. We're performing for the PTO meeting next Monday. I couldn't believe how many students were interested in participating. I was excited until I actually started trying to teach the dance, BY MYSELF!!!!!! It was so much, trying to keep that many students altogether. I just pray everything will run smoothly tomorrow.
