Hi!
I started a post last night, but never finished it... oops. So I finished it and combined it with today's post.

Today was a really great day. It rained in Kayenta yesterday, and if it rains enough, the public school will close. Today was one of those days. I am at the community school, though, and we were still open. However, when the public school closes, some students from the community school end up taking a day off as well. Two of the kids from my class were not here today, and I hate to say this, but it was actually nice to not have them there. They like to stir up trouble sometimes, so it was quiet for the first part of the day. After a convocation and lunch, though, the kids decided it was too quiet and went a little bonkers. It really wasn't that bad, but we had some students be a little louder than usual.
After school today, I went to volleyball practice (as usual) and had a blast with my little Pee Wees. They're precious, but at that age where they can really be little snots. They're in fifth and sixth grade, but they're pretty good as long as it isn't hot while they're outside. Then they feel like they will die. Drama queens. :)
Then, we had hamburgers for dinner. It was pretty tasty, and I was happy to be able to eat with one of my volleyball girls who had a rough week. She actually gave me a hug today before she went to bed, which was a first.

Today was a little rough. My students were SUPER talkative, and it seemed like everyone had an attitude today. I tried all day to be nice, and succeeded most of the time. My two "troublemaker" boys were back in class today, which was good, but it seemed they made it a bit more difficult to keep the class under control. I think the biggest issue here is that there haven't been expectations put into place. I hardly know what's expected of me here, so why would I expect my students to feel differently? I'm hoping tomorrow will be a better day. It's test day and a half day, with training after school, so it should be okay. :)
Keeping my head up and learning a lot,
Sara
