5:37 a.m. - Yesterday was busy, and I had to deal with an irritation, but I got through it. Mid-morning I went to the junior high/high school to take some paperwork to the district office. While I was there I stopped by and bothered some teachers, but I also introduced myself to Juanito De Vera, who recently joined the high school staff from the Phillipines. I'm going to try to help him adjust and not go crazy. He's living in an apartment in Edgington in the hardware store building. I don't think he has a car or license, so I'm just going to try to help him not go stir crazy. Maybe I'll have him over to the house today sometime.
Most importantly to the day, we had our first assembly of the year at school. It was a kick-off assembly, since we have MAP testing coming up beginning next week. We had reps from Girls Scouts and Cub Scouts, and I was able to remind students about the certificates that we distibute, and I offered an additional incentive - I'm going with the "Decorate Mr. Bizarri" opportunity. One student from each of the grade levels will be drawn to participate, but in order to get in the drawing, students will have to have earned a certificate of accomplishment. In the Fall, students will get a chance to decorate Mr. Bizarri with silly string. In the Winter, students will get a chance to decorate him as a sundae. And in the Spring, a chance to decorate him as a princess. I was hoping to get a positive response from students, and I did. Let's see if that additional motivation will help students give more time and energy on their assessments.
After school, Amber and I had a date night and went to the casino. We had supper at the buffet and then we played slots. We even jumped into the hot tub before going to bed.
And today I'd like to get some work done, some exercising in, and I'd like to watch the Bears play and relax a bit. I think Kollyns is coming over sometime, and I think Amber has plans this evening, so I should have the house to myself.
