Dear Mother Nature, I've Got Work to Do

It's not the grumpy old man in me shining through, but the man who wants to achieve great things with his time!  It seems that snow is on its way once again to the East Coast sometime around tomorrow evening into Wednesday morning.  This, of course, means school will most likely be canceled.

That sucks for all most (Maybe, just me.) teachers!  With one day of school already gone this week, the last thing my budding young scholars need is yet another day off.  :sigh:

On the brighter side, today absolutely flew by!  The Learning Objective?  Students created short skits based on Feudalism in Japan.  That meant, as facilitator, I was running around the classroom ensuring each of the groups were focused, understood the directions, were following the directions and would be ready to present after just 20 minutes of preparation.  That's a lot to handle in 45 minutes!

Some highlights?
1.  One student decided to add a cartwheel to the skit.
2.  At least four students had quite impressive death scenes.
3.  To top it off, one student had created a crown for himself that said "Emperor of China"  (Look at the objective if you're not sure why that's a highlight...)

Time to heat up a Lean Cuisine, do some grocery shopping (To prepare for Snowmageddon 2011) and more lesson plans!!
