After weeks of stress and illness, I made it through my first TAKS test. My last student finished yesterday at 5 p.m. I went home exhausted, feeling as if I'd sat for their exam 22 times. I guess I kind of did.
The children were tired and emotional and uncooperative today. I couldn't blame them much; we ought to have the day off after one like yesterday.
One quick story:
Last week we studied geography. When looking at a map of the United States, one little boy asked, "Why is Hannah Montana on here?" I tried to explain that the original Montana was a state, not a teen singer; I'm not sure he understood, though. Thanks a lot, pop culture.
