The wild broncos broke loose. Wild-eyed. Fearful. Panicked. And that was me!
Ach! These poor sixth graders are leaving the comfort zone of elementary school. They are leaving recess. They will no longer be the big cheese. The will be pond-scum seventh-graders. Doormats to eighth and ninth graders. No wonder they are terrified.
Everything I planned for next week is pretty much out the door because they are not coming back into the corral. Where are the dreaded hygiene films that could make anybody comatose? This is the time of year when teachers get on their knees and thank God for videos. I am seriously considering an all video week. Educationally viable, of course, but I am desperate. They actually asked for “Old Yeller”. Hey, it was in our reading book.
If not videos, then worksheets. No. No. That would be too much. After all, they would have to be graded.
The toughest job in the world; actually attempting to teach the last week of school.
