High School is NEVER Dull

This week has gone by pretty fast. My sophomores are really great and my seniors...are seniors. If it hadn't been for meetings and outside commitments, it would have been a relatively quiet week. Today there were several fights at school and it was so amazing how quickly students can create their own take on things. Suddenly the assumption of the day was, "I heard if there were four fights in one day, we would be dismissed." Ummm...wrong! Technology helped this fairy tale spread so quickly that the principal had to announce that it wasn't exactly true...there would be no food fight at lunch and if things didn't get back on track that break would be a distance priviledge. Things cooled off and hopefully everyone will all play nice to make Friday a happy day for everyone. The joys of high school drama...you have to agree, it ain't dull!!

Hit the Ground Running

After enjoying a great Thursday-Saturday at Kiawah Island with 10 other collegues from Socastee at the SCCTE Conference, I have come home to hit the ground running. With a little trepidation, we have our first SKYPE conference tonight and I am not quite sure if I have all of this technology down yet. If all goes well, it should be a good discussion of all that we have read over the past several weeks. Then I have one meeting after another this week...between IEPs and 504s and even more staff development at the end of the week, it should go by quickly. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with all the activity.
