It was a full day of activities. It started with a crazy accident in my classroom. One of my students had a chunk of glass fly into his eye and instead of asking for help, he proceeded to pull and push the glass around until he was tearing blood and finally yelling out in pain. That's when I stepped in to get his eye washed out. I held his hands to the nurse so he would not rub his eyes. It was upsetting but I'm sure to stay calm but firm. I don't think the kid was wearing safety glasses, so I came back to my class ready to remind everyone the safety glasses are there to be worn in order prevent freakish accidents. Melissa had a student walk into a peice of glass and need 8 stiches in his shin. When I told her we needed to make sure kids were wearing safety glasses, she mentioned we should make them wear shin guards too. Josh added that the district should just make the kids wear umpire gear for the class. Safety first!
We continue to get photos for the senior newspaper. After school I ran over to get a team photo of the soccer team (below), ran home to walk Balt and then came back to get photos of Monika playing (above). It started to pour rain during her game, so I didn't feel terrible that I had to leave early so that I could change and go get Jessi to go to the Senior Convocation for all the honors kids and scholarship recipients. It was a special time to celebrate so many accomplished kids. Jessi was .01% away from getting gold cords but she is one of only 3 senior who did 3 sports all 4 years of high school, which I think is pretty amazing.
