ugh.

so i began my class today by literally kicking out half my kids to go to a new class since mine was at about 50 students. it did NOT go over well. the half that left were really pissed to leave and the other half was pissed they were gone and didn't want to talk and interact. my lesson today should have been really fun and it involved listening to a lot of music and talking about african culture but since they were all in a bad mood it just flopped. ugh. then my collaborating teacher who teaches the same kids the hour after i do came in and asked why everyone was so frustrated -- opening a whole new can of worms. i wish she would have asked me before she did that. of course they started bitching about being hungry, bored, and writing too much. they are kids, after all. 

the highs and lows here are astounding. at any rate i don't have anything due tomorrow so after i prepare tomorrow's lesson a little more i can go to bed! woot!

alright off to grade papers and see exactly HOW bad my class went today.
