My whole school district's website is down...which means I can't VPN into the network...which means I can't access all my files...which means I'm starting from scratch for my lessons tomorrow, unless I'd rather get into work at 6 am tomorrow and hope the server is back up. GAH.

"Work on your weekly problem set day"

I think I actually pulled something together pretty quickly. Luckily we're in a review block, so I created a card sort and a review sheet and then I'll let them work on their homework for a good 20 minutes under the guise of "getting help if they need it". Should be a relatively painless block.

I haven't played jeopardy yet this year. I need to pull that out.

Jeopardy days were my FAVORITE even in classes I HATED.

My brother and I went to order dinner online, and the assholes must have closed early, cause it wouldn't let us place the order with half an hour of delivery left. I KNOW they weren't closed all day... my sister had already gotten food...

I hated jeopardy... usually just because I didn't study so I never knew the answers lol. But it did always help me on tests, because jeopardy pretty much WAS my studying.

The problem is, my kids have never even seen jeopardy...but don't get me wrong, we play tons of review games. I play "SURVIVOR" where if your team gets a question right, you get to pop another team's balloon...it's fun to watch them form "alliances" and strategize. When it's nice out, we'll go outside and do the problems in chalk on the sidewalk--they got a kick out of that.

Tomorrow we're playing math poker in my regular algebra class. For every problem you get to bet money ahead of time, and if you get it right you add the money, you get it wrong you subtract. If you run out of money you have to do something silly at the front of the room to earn back money. I'll probably get fired for encouraging gambling...
