I Fix Stuff

Today was pretty typical and therefore I don't have much to tell you.

Although it was nice to have an easy-ish, normal day so late in May! I shall cherish it.

Basically, the only weird thing that happened was that some person came in to take spring photos of a few kids who brought their form back and then they wanted the whole class for a group shot. That got us a little behind for the morning after we walked out to the grassy area of the playground to do the photo.

The rest of the day was basically reading, writing, and math (I'm sorry, I refuse to say "'rithmatic" because it's just dumb.) I was nice and let them draw while I read aloud the third book in the Gregor series, and I was also nice when I let them sit wherever they wanted during writing time.

In other events, I fixed the projector. Well, it worked at least. The IA in the room told me it hadn't been working a week or so ago and someone came in to fix it and they did, but then the document camera wasn't working and the projector was projecting too large an image to fit completely on the screen. Well, the second thing I knew how to fix, so I adjusted that, then I decided to take a stab at the doc cam. I turned it on to see what would happen and it worked right away! So either someone else fixed it over the weekend or I just have the magic touch. Either way, I'm sure the teacher will be pleased to have it up and running tomorrow. :)

I think you just have the magic touch. Glad a late May day was easy-ish, hope some more of those head your way. "Rithmatic"? I'm sure there's a perfectly convoluted reason why they started calling it that. Dare I ask...Why?
Hope you have another good day tomorrow.
Hugs, Rhonda

I'm not surprised that you were able to fix the techi thing. That piece of equipment didn't even exist at least in my school when I retired. I'm glad the kids were good enough that you were able to give them a little freedom and be "nice." That's a nice thing to happen in late May especially.
Love you!!! MOM
