Day Thirty-one: One down, hopefully thousands to go

Today was our assembly performance. We had an extra kid today beg to be in the skit, so we made him the security guard. When I got in his face onstage and screamed "Let's take this outside!" the kids laughed so hard. Later one of my kids said, "Miss, you are a good actress." Apparently I do white trash pretty well. Hope I don't typecast myself. The kid who played my son was awesome. It was a little disappointing that the kids watching got really loud and talked through the whole assembly.

Also today...my first student completed my class! Yes, you should be giving her a standing ovation. She only needed one semester to finish her fine arts requirement. I'll have another student next week done with the entire year. How you ask? He did everything. Completed every assignment. Performed in every assembly. Telling students about this seems to be helping to motivate them. When they find out how many points I gave the students today, they shout, "Man, I need to do an assembly!" Yes. Yes you do.
