Yesterday after testing, we started our One Book, One School selection, Thunder Cave. Naturally, the after testing environment is chaotic, noisy, and completely insane. Trying to get their attention to start a read aloud was nearly impossible. I will have this challenge again today after the math test.
When trying to think what to write today, I remembered a quote from the book that I am using for an activity—a spine poem. I decided today I’d write a spine poem about my need to survive this day, using the quote: “Survival is more important than getting there.”
Survival is the name of the game. It
is hardest on these days after testing.
More noise, more craziness, nothing
important to do. Rather
than calming things down, we are
getting barraged with misbehavior.
There is little that can be done.
(Just. Survive)
