Aren’t you glad your mother is not an eagle?

baby eaglesI just checked on the Eagle cam that I mentioned in my blog last year and there are eaglets in the nest. It’s pretty interesting to watch the parents fly in with fresh food and feed their young!  I watched the eaglets eat a fresh rodent this morning.  YUK! I think it was a rat, but it was hard to tell since they had already started picking it apart. If you would like to watch bald eagles in the wild, check it out!

Another day of testing…..

quiet pleaseDay Two of testing for our students.

Today the students are working on the Ohio Grade 7 Mathematics Achievement Assessment.  So as I sit and type this, the students in my room have their calculators and pencils in hand, mints or gum in their mouths, and appear to be solving math problems that should indicate how well then can do in mathematics.

I hate days like this.  It makes for a long 2 1/2 hours when my classroom is quiet and I cannot interact with my students.  Although I have been kidding with them a lot lately about “evil teenagers”, they are pretty interesting kids and they do make my days interesting!  😉

Now, to just get through this morning…
