This is the quote of the day on my chalkboard today. I know, I know, shouldn't I have a white board by now, or even a smart board? We go ol' school in room B133. Anyway, the students are taking the post-assessment which involves an in-class essay. I tried to motivate them to do the best they could, but I am a little worried about the results. We shall see on Thursday when we mark them. Needless to say, even though they are capable of writing well, I am not so sure their efforts are going to be astounding. The students are ready for summer up in here! Sitting in a warm classroom and writing for 45 minutes on a topic they don't care that much about did not really do it for them, even though it was 10 percent of their grade.
Ahhh, Tommy Edison, the Electric Sunshine Man. In my fifteen minutes of fame when I was 10 years old I was the lead in the school play. I can still recall the music and some of my lines. I was the Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison himself. I have memories of the play because I've seen it on VHS tape a few times, but I also can vividly recall being up on the stage. I got to hang out on a ladder in between parts of scenes and I remember having a blast.
I need to do more astounding things. I know I am capable of a lot. I just need to harness the necessary energy. Well, that's about all for now. Adieu!
