Monthly Monologue

Today was an early-out for students so teachers could collaborate. What this boiled down to today was what Tera calls, "Monthly Monologues." I had such a hard time staying awake as I was already tired. Basically the principal gets up in front of us and rambles about stuff. I'm not really sure what he was talking about...Could not pay attention.

On a more positive and much less boring note, I am enjoying presenting my prezi to my students. They are in total awe. They think it is so cool! I love it. They all want to know why I made it and why I'm not using a power point and I was like, because this is like 1,000 times cooler. :)

I think that my students are starting to get a little bit too comfortable like they are trying to ask me questions to derail me and get me off task. I need to rein them back in so we can get down to work and focus on them learning what they need to.

Here's an example of one of my student's work. This is their weekly bioterm assignment. They have to define, copy a sentence from the textbook, create their own sentence and draw a picture to represent the bioterm.
