This past week has been a crazy week both personally and at school. Personally it was crazy because my sleeping, and working schedule was off because I had to miss class on last Friday because of the Cohort meeting. The fact that we had a meeting on Friday afternoon meant that I could be up past my usually 9-10pm, so I stated up until 1am, and sleep-in until about 10 or 11am. This was all great then but it would start a downfall of the rest of the week. Monday came around and there was the huge snow storm/blizzard. This cancelled school on Monday, and delayed school for Tuesday. I have no clue how the weather played such a huge role in students behaviors, but for the rest of the week everything was out of place. Besides missing on Monday, and being delayed on Tuesday, on Wednesday the students had to take the SAT which lasted until from 8:3-am-2:30pm. After it was done students were tired and did not want to do any work. This complicated things because any work we wanted to get done with the students could not be achieved for 3 days because of the crazy schedule. Thursday, and Friday ended the week, and although it seemed to be normal days they still were kind of crazy with students having all kinds of roller coaster like emotions. This week should be a little better, but probably not since on Monday the students have the take the TAKS test and basically it will probably start another week of roller coaster like emotions.

You have my sympathy! Unfortunately these weeks do come along and you pull your hair out trying to catch up afterwards. I hope you went to Plan B on your lessons--that is changed them up for a bit more active involvement and less mental involvement. That sounds counterproductive, but you will get more done in the long run.

And yes, getting off your sleeping schedule can make problems later, but so nice to sleep in once in a while!

Hope your week turns out better than you thought and that lots of learning takes place!
