Break time!
Writing samples are scored, so I gave myself a break. I still have to finish grading a math test and then move on to report cards. I started the comments last week, but have yet to put grades on them.
This morning was the district carnival, where I worked a game booth. Student council reps from the middle school were out helping, and one was offered to help at my booth, specifically to pick up the bean bags so we wouldn't have to bend down so much. I said I would be ok, but oy, I think I'm getting old. Squatting down over and over quickly made my legs sore, so when a student came over to help, I readily accepted. My only other choice was to sit by the clown cut-out and toss the bags back in the bucket, but the other teacher working wasn't always doing her part. Luckily she realized she had to gab later and take tickets/give prizes. I forgot sunscreen this morning and so my face is a bit red.
When my shift was over, I walked around, said hi to present and past students, and then went to Petco. Yes, I got another betta. Shoot, I almost got 3! I found a dark blue and orange one, a combination I'd never seen before. Then I found another very similar, and also a light blue and orange guy. I wanted all three, but only took one. No names are popping into mind at present.
Lastly, I finally found Girl Scout cookies! Someone gave me half a box yesterday, and then today people (moms or troop leaders, no Girl Scouts to be seen) were selling them outside the store near Petco. I've got my Samoas and Tagalongs for the year :)
