My time spent at Murray is getting more frenetic again because of midterms, etc,  but I am glad that I got in a good amount of hours this week. We are still working on the movie projects, which is still pretty cool (the friday fourth graders are my favorite, although often they have too much energy on a friday afternoon). I am beginning to confront the issue of students with learning disabilities, which seems to be something that CPS does very little about... they are particularly impatient when typing, and cannot follow directions at all. Work in the refurbished language lab as well. I am looking forward to next week, because on Monday I will be leading one of the computer lab periods while Joe is out. I am quite honored that they are asking me to do this, because although I will be helping out with individual questions like always, I am going to present the next step of the project (and review old steps). Hopefully it will go all right and the kids will listen carefully....
