Slept weird last night. Dreamt of being choked by a strange man. Literally could not breathe. Didn't seem like apnea, just a powerful dream.
Today we had a mini-team meeting, started as just a chat session with all the four teachers. Then it turned to two of our "new" students, both of whom were suspended last year for 180 days (that is a full year) but went to an alternative school (I guess you could think of it as reform school) for a few months and are now kicked back to us. They promise to be a handful, and one I had last year and was more than a handful. He got caught dealing pot in the final month of school, after showing some significant sociopathic tendencies.
On a good note, though, all the classes went well, kids were "getting it" as we worked in our new workbooks and played with equations on the board. Good questions from my kids, and a couple of hard to reach kids were attentive and I got to compliment them after class.
Still, now that report card grades are finalized, now we have start intervening with kids who score D or F. And I got my "improvement" scores from last year and my students were down more than the state average on their test scores. But it couldn't really dampen my good day.
