yesterday for 3 seventh grade English classes and a seventh grade collab. Some trepidation, but the reality was a really good day---students cooperative---worked hard on their poems---those that had finished their poems found something else to do. Lots of good shared energy between the three groups and myself. I think John Byrne, the regular English teacher deserves a lot of credit for this---the students feel very responsible to him. Left feeling very tired, but extremely fulfilled. Also calmer during the whole day---maybe this was because I had not been in school for two days and was physically more relaxed as well. I will return to Friends tomorrow, for what looks like a short day of two ninth grade history classes. That's good--I like the ninth grade very much---I spent a lot of time with them last year when they were "wacky" eighth graders---now they are really maturing, and in many ways, separating from me. Well, we will see if that is true tomorrow. Then the weekend.
Not sure what the weekend holds. If I am not too tired, I plan to go on Friday evening to the Morgan Library, where they have a very intense Tenessee Williams exhibit. Saturday not sure--I would like to see the Pollock play at some point. Bushwich Starr? Maybe, but my mind will be made up as things go along.
Tonight is free---and I don't expect to be too tired to do something---maybe a movie---will report on all soon.
