Scribe by Leroy

Aug. 17- 21 2009

The week started with the announcement of a hurricane that was going to hit our shores. However, several brief rain showers were present at our school. I got soak and wet very badly. The 1st Journal was quite weird some people were lost others did not care. Some students were happy about the Weekly Scribe others were disappointed because of the adding of new work. Coming out early makes me very hungry at the last period and I don’t really matter if for lunch they are serving just Raviolis, I will eat them all.

On Tuesday I was absent part of the day because I had to pay a Traffic Infraction for speeding. Nonetheless, I was able to give class to 8-1 and 8-2; I know that they were “very happy” about it. The day when fast and so did the students.

On Wednesday I calendarized most of students Scribes and Reflections. Some were making faces, some were happy and others didn’t care again. Time when by very fast and I almost ended without a voice due to the non stopping verbal workout.

On Thursday I gave to the students the infamous and hated words of vocabulary. Yes, I know it’s a lot but we have to do it. Using the Swine Flu as an excuse I basically told the kids that they should take a bath and wash themselves properly. Some made faces on the words of vocabulary and thought same old same old.

Finally the end of the week! I was really looking forward for this day. I bet everyone was very tired and a bit sad due to the upcoming schedule from 8 to 3 that will start on Monday. Some look at the rationale and acknowledge the overload of work. My room still has holes on the sealing and is being used a storage place. Being a Scribe was ok for me, but I have to admit that is was boring most of the time. After all it’s just the teacher’s point of view. I bet the students have better things to say next time.
