today I had plans to finish the apartment collages and vocab.
half the class wasn't there and there was some rumor that we were supposed to be at an assembly. we walked over and were at the wrong place. it was embarrassing because they made a whole big deal about how we weren't supposed to be there -- so the kids were singled out as being academy and soda. we were all made to feel stupid.
back in the classroom we'd lost one kid - who was late anyhow - i marked him as cut. I'll call his mom and let her know.
LT seemed very angry and upset - but the reading magazines and finishing her art project seemed to calm her.
it was a quiet day... so many kids missing. also a really nice day. i turned off the lights and used the window to create a nicer atmosphere. every one worked and chatted to friends - no one was yelling across the room. nancy came and helped out, brought glue sticks, and gave resource secrets away - like who here has what paper, dividers, markers, etc.
i also started w the free write being an interesting question and had people sit apart - everyone wrote! i will continue with this approach for solo work.
