Monday/Tuesday Work Days

Yesterday and today were the last two days of work time in the library and I am very glad. The kids cannot sustain the attention necessary to get the work done without going completely bonkers every time someone walks in. It is summer and it becomes more and more obvious with every day that they are barely holding it together. I had to write a kid up yesterday for sheer defiance and throwing stuff and he wasn't even fazed. The rest of them are doing okay, but it seems as if there is a constant struggle in all the classes. Tomorrow we start the new Ecore and I will be helping Lindquist to do the exercise class instead of Tennis with Heidi because Bruecken had to go on bedrest, I hope she's okay. We had the science fair both yesterday and today with the kids walking around looking at each others displays, even though they weren't interested at all. Tomorrow Siskow and I will be having the kids do an internet scavenger hunt to learn about the 40s and then each pair will pick an event or person from that time period and make one of their own.
