Everyone is having 35 minutes of quiet time, ALONE! They can read or just rest on their bed. I have exactly 20 minutes left. Do I go try to read and risk falling asleep? Do I try to be productive? I guess I will go read and risk going to sleep. I am SURE someone will wake me up as soon as they are all up.
School went pretty well today. I had to call all three girls back in today because they said they had completed everything. Well, they each had uncompleted assignments. They attempted to complete the assignments. Two were called in again for not completed them with their best work. They were doing just enough to get by. You don't get away with that in my classroom. Once again, the trust issue and testing their boundaries. All three girls!!
Thanks for all of the encouragement fellow adoptive bloggers!! It sure helps during the tough times!
Me..I would have picked a nap. Power nap is what I call them. Tried to get one today but it hasn't worked out yet. Oh well. Hope you got some rest.
ReplyDeleteDealing with the girls doing just enough to get by on their schoolwork vs. doing their best...yes, this is that human nature issue that I constantly dealt with in the classroom. If I caught it, I'd make them do more, fix stuff, etc. Otherwise, the grade was just lower.
