Today was another wonderful, yet chaotic day in the classroom. It's always hard to get the students back on schedule and to follow the routines and procedures after a weekend, especially a 3 day one. Nevertheless, it was a productive day! My favorite part about today was the lesson on Martin Luther King. To help them understand how African American people were treated, I favored the boys over the girls by allowing the boys to sit up front during a read aloud and giving them stickers afterwards. The girls were NOT amused and were questioning my every move, which is what I anticipated. It was a great way to show how the African Americans felt during MLK time. The students wrote about their dreams/wishes for their family, school, and world...pictures to come =)!
The icy roads and thick fog made me very uneasy on my drive to school. There is a mountain that I pass, in Newcastle, called The Burning Mountain. The combination of that mountain, the cold air and the CO river results in the thickest fog I have ever seen. It looks like you are going to hit a white wall. Thank goodness it only lasts for about 5 minutes!
Matt and I are ending our night with homemade tamales from a mom at my school and an ON DEMAND movie! Happy Tuesday! Goodnight!
