Monday- a pretty cool day.

Today there was a play and we got to see it twice- it fit in with the curriculum perfectly- it was about the speakeasies of the 1920s and the gangs that ran the streets. Today started out well, I ran Morning Meeting and we played Tick Tick Boom and Hot Potato with our class and with the class next door. In study hall we decided to put up a check off chart and it actually made the kids work today instead of making excuses. In E-Core I ran the class while Siskow took the kids who were doing nothing to the seminar room to complete packet work. I let some of the kids go up to the Media Center to do research and they were sent back ten minutes later because they were on YouTube- so now they are all off the internet for the rest of the quarter. For class today Igo figured out how all the kids could see the play so our class was a little crazy with the extra kids in it. They all had to hand in their Political Cartoons today and we only got 8 out of 80 turned in- they think that they can hand stuff in late and still get credit even though I said on Friday that it was classwork that needed to be completed by the end of class on Monday. Big Ha.
