Summary of Today’s Activities:
Normal Monday Schedule: meet with every class for 45 min. but preparing for the VAIS and SAIS accreditation visits (Tuesday-Thursday)
Sports Medicine (2nd & 4th) : First thing, I explained to the students that our school is up for re-accreditation and their involvement is crucial in that process. We reviewed our mission statement and how we should go about our business while we are being watched by these special visitors ;). After a quick review, we jumped into our lesson of the day - Strength Training. Today's topic focused on isometric and dynamic (isotonic) exercises. The students took notes from the prepared powerpoint and answered questions (with hands raised today, hooray!). No homework tonight :)
PE (5th): Daily, condensed exercises - but not every kid was participating to standards today. After dealing with individual behaviors, we continued on with our final soccer period. I set up 2 quick soccer drills that focused on passing and give & gos. There wasn't that much time left, but for 10 minutes I let them play indoor soccer to finish out the unit.
AP Statistics (6th): I really hate short periods in this class, after I check for homework and then go over the homework problems, I have about 15-20 minutes for a lesson. My reasoning for a long review time today - I haven't had my students in class since Wednesday and for some reason they didn't do AP Statistics all weekend long! I had very little time to explain Least Square Regression Lines, but I assigned a homework problem and hoping for the best (obviously I'll go over it again on Wednesday).
Middle PE (7th): Well we started out with our daily exercises today, but it proved to be too much for my darling students to listen and follow directions. My fun PE class quickly turned into exercises for 50 minutes (or until my class could get under control and follow instructions, which turned out to be 50 minutes). No activity today due to misbehaving children.

Reflections of Today's Activities:
It must have been a full moon or something - all of my students were out of sorts today. So many of my students were acting out - especially in my physical education classes today. I was so frustrated today that I even appointed a student to run class tomorrow, just so he can see how difficult my job can be at times - but it was actually his idea and I agreed to it! I gave him the topic and objectives and it was his duty to run exercises and the lesson - I'm waiting to see how this is going to pan out!
