Still way behind

I managed to grade one set of reading tests, which my students did surprisingly well on. This could be because it was a fiction story and not the non-fiction we've had for a while. What scares me a little is that they read the story over 3 days with the sub. I left directions to read and ask a lot of comprehension questions, and it took forever for them to read it. They also did Venn diagrams comparing the 2 main characters. With me they partner read the story then we did a story map. What made the difference this time on their tests? I guess I'll never know.

I still have a ton of grading to do but my head/sinuses are not cooperating. So, I think I'll pop another movie in (watched parts of N&S earlier) and try to not think about the pressure in my forehead.

P&P or Jane Eyre, I can't decide.

I hate being sick.

You do Venn diagrams with kids? That's cool - I don't remember doing that sort of thing when I was a kiddo.

I hope your sinuses clear out!

You know, it's funny, but I had an urge to hit the library to check out Jane Eyre the other day and watch it again. Four hours of movie, though, and I only wanted to see certain parts. *laughs*

I usually only watch disc 2 anyway. Last night there was only a short part I fast forwarded through. I love that movie.

LOL Yeah, it would have been disk 2. Man, her aunt was SO GROSS when she was dying! Ugh!
