Today was a good lesson for myself; inclement weather schedule is very stressful for teachers. It was snowing outside, so the kids hadn't left the classroom all day, and they were stir crazy. I have never seen them act so wild before. It was very hard for me to keep the noise level to a minimum, and I had a hard time keeping the kids focused. It seemed like I wasn't giving good enough directions. It was pretty stressful, but it was a good experience, because I know as a teacher I will be having multiple days such as that one. I'll need to learn a few tricks to keep the kids engaged at times like those.
