to the point

Yesterday:

A fist fight (between a girl and a boy) broke out bright and early in the morning while we were on supervision duty.

I got into a verbal altercation with a student who refused to listen to me and continued to speak disrespectfully to me while on supervision duty.

A student ran away from my CT in circles as she tried to get him to quit doing something and talk to her. He claimed he didn't have a name when asked. All while on supervision duty.

Then, in 5th hour I tried some conflict resolution strategies between 2 students. It ended with me calling the school security guard to escort her to the office.

Today:

Well today was just an interesting lunch time in general. Our principal kind of walked all through the halls yelling at students. Mine were actually well behaved today (yay!).

I continued to diffuse a brewing fight between two students. New seating chart tomorrow hopefully will help.

--------------------------------------------

8th hour is obsessed with guessing my first name. They will never win. I'll end up telling them if they don't guess after the hints I gave them today.

The funny part? We had Open House on Tuesday night and my CT put my first and last name on the handout that the parents took before 8th hour started into the guessing game.

They came back today and nobody knew---even those whose parents came. 8th graders are observant. It is a fun game, though!

I'm tired and have work to do, though. Time for a night cap.
