Highlight of the Day: 10/4/2011

Nothing too exciting going on today.  I had to give referrals to a couple of students, and one student was testing my patience when I watched him during ISS today.

For my lack of anything interesting happening today, here is an awesome, hilarious Beastie Boys video with an all-star cast.

I was showing a new para around the school today, and I took her into the ISS room, and introduced her to some of the students with her.  One student greeted her with a "Fuck You".  She is already part of the team.  Later that day, he called me a "Fucking Dick."

While I am still enjoying working with the students, I will say I am starting to look forward to a workday without them tomorrow.

I spent a fair amount of time supervising our program's In-School-Suspension (ISS) room, and was called a nerd by a couple of students.  I was then asked, mockingly, if I am into "Dungeons and Dragons" or Magic Cards.  For the record, I am a bit of a nerd, but I do have my limits.  But I could have been called a lot worse.

I had the opportunity to lead classroom instruction today.  OK, so I was only working with two students (one of the students was in ISS).  Still, I am happy that my supervising teacher is giving me this opportunity.  We read a story on internet sources and to be skeptical of the different between true news websites and opinionated websites like blogs and Wikipedia.

For the record, while I give a lot of my own opinions on this blog, I try to make sure all the information I post on are true.  If I ever do get anything wrong, I promise to post a correction as soon as possible.
