13th Week: Impalapalooza Week!

Tacky Tourist Day - Mrs. Mo's Class

Happy Impalapalooza Week! YAY! Each day we had a different theme that we could dress up: Monday was Colorado Spirit day (I wore jeans and a USA Cycling t-shirt), Tuesday was Tacky Tourist Day (I didn't really dress up, but I had a skirt that is bright and colorful I used for the occasion.), Wednesday was Mathlete vs. Athlete day (I didn't know what to wear, so I went casual and donned my reading glasses), and Thursday was Poudre Spirit day (Once again, I wore jeans and a Poudre t-shirt).

Black Prez was in 'da house!

The Assembly was on Thursday between 2nd and 3rd hours. They packed a lot into the hour including: Cool Man contest, Chariot races, Prom royalty, chant-off, and Black Prez put on a show. It was fun to see the staff and the students excited for their school and the activities happening. Classroom management was a challenge because the students were excited about the day, having an off day on Friday, and Prom coming up on the weekend.

Whew! I was pooped today after finishing up classes, and it's been kind of weird knowing that I have a full day off tomorrow. I am absolutely looking forward to it! It's been a stressful week professionally and personally. With so much going on with putting out applications, getting my resume updated, and my husband's job hanging in the balance, we are having some difficulty managing. We are staying positive through these last few weeks of school, though. There's only six weeks left at Poudre High School, and I only have four weeks left at Front Range Community College. Things are definitely starting to wind down.

By the way, the girl that wasn't coming to class finally dropped with an "F" after I called home to check on her. She claimed that the management class she was taking with another teacher was just like my class. My guess is that she didn't want to do the work, so she took an "F" instead.
