The Science Fair approaches!
Last week was a flurry of group rearranging, brainstorming, and confusion on my part. After the drama of choosing and rearranging groups (''Miss, pleeeeaaase let us split the group into two! Those girls no work!'') I was just glad for the weekend. This week I finally have 3 groups in each class and they have all decided on their Experiment for the big day!
Little Sally Batres (check out the Student Files for more info on this overachiever) glowed at me with her big gorgeous eyes, ''Miss, we will not do a poster. We will borrow Pastor Roy's, uh, como se dice....'' and she motioned a light to show on the wall. ''A projector?!'' I asked. ''Yes. I will make a presentation,'' she nodded vigorously. I shouldn't really be surprised.
Today I won a battle I've fought since day one. I walked into 4B for our first Bible class of the week and, instead of reigning chaos, kids ran to their seats and had their Bible books out before I even wrote it on the board. (!!!!!!!) Instead of tackling Ramon, Rolando had his notebook out. Instead of making eyes at one of the girls, Jesus sat at the front of his row already memorizing his memory verse. Marvin, who I'm convinced is ADD, raised his hand and asked for permission to go to his locker. I wanted to die! ;D
What miracle brought about this change??? Group points. No joke.... they all desperately want to be the group that gets whatever the ''prize'' is on Friday. Now I have to figure out what that prize will be! Ha!
