Review: Special K Brownies
Let's talk about grading. I hardly ever blog about teaching. If I do, it's mostly about how much I love my job. I seriously do. Teaching HS Math is so much fun and the kids are fantastic. I love the connections I make with them daily. This week is midterms week - which means we have two periods each morning for the students to take the exams and then the afternoon is open for students to make up work/retake exams and for teachers to grade said exams. Grading this time around has been far too time consuming. I need to break my exam into standards. I do see the value in the standards based grading and my students really are taking them seriously. My only gripe is that it is taken double the amount of time to grade exams....and after 3 hours of grading today, I wanted chocolate. Actually, I craved chocolate 1 hour into the grading. Thankfully I had my Special K Brownies in my school bag. Their rich flavor...
