Argumentative

Sigh. My kids were argumentative with me today. Not with each other (well, maybe a little with each other), just with me. 

They argued about doing art during read-aloud. They argued about when we were going to stop the chapter. They argued about the virtual field trip video we watched. They argued about doing the science lab after math. They argued about recess being shorter because the lab cut into it (not entirely my fault...math went long today, so we didn't have as much time as I'd thought). They argued about coming inside from recess when the kindergarteners came outside a minute or two early and kicked us off the playground. They argued about doing social studies. Sigh. Like I said. Argumentative.

The 7-8th graders weren't much better. They didn't argue; they just made fun of everything. Two groups of students presented their trip itineraries to the Middle East. Some had spelling errors or math/budget errors, and everyone not presenting made sure to point out the presenters' problems. Then we watched a virtual field trip session about how cartoons make sound effects, which they made fun of as well. Augh!!! 

Sigh. Overall a mentally draining day. Thankfully, tomorrow is Friday AND a half day.
