Don't even know why I am trying to teach this chapter. Volume (yeah, probably ONE question on the TCAP), surface area...the kids don't care and it is next to impossible to teach without more classroom sets of things I don't have (and that would become projectiles). The week is a bloody mess as it is.
Formative assessment - the fourth of four. Helps predict the TCAP, which is in about 6 weeks....so this one, so soon after the third, is kind of pointless. But it does eat up two days I could be teaching. Then Friday is a Black History month program, which eats up another class period.
Maybe the week will fly by. Maybe the kids will cool down a little. They are getting pretty wild - I think it is stir crazy as the last gasp of winter hits. Once the sap starts REALLY rising, it will be much much worse. Three weeks to Spring Break.
Which reminds me. My break doesn't align with the girls' break. They have the week before mine. The original plan was for them to take some of the time while I was in Australia to visit NYC. Instead, since fares are low, they will fly up for the week of (their) Spring break, saving two days of driving each way. Means I will be on my own for a week, gearing down for my own break, during which I will not get to rest. Probably.

When exactly is your spring break? We've been tossing around ideas for getting out of town. In March it's still chancy heading north. We can always go further south.
