Wicked

We saw it. We loved it. It was wicked cool. I had to go buy the original cast recording ASAP, which turned out to be at a Barnes and Noble in Appleton. I love Steven Schwartz's lyrics; they are so witty, fun, and memorable! The set was incredible, Ana Gasteyer as Elphaba was amazing, and some of the songs gave me goosebumps. Rock on. Wicked will be in my head and in my CD player for a long time.

My classes are also being a bit wicked. There was quite a bit of shuffling that went on for 2nd trimester, and unfortunately I gained a few new students (were held back after 7th grade, now are moving up to 8th because they did well enough redoing the first tri of 7th. You know that can't be good). Now my 4th hour is MUCH more manageable, but I fear my 6th and 7th hours may become nightmare classes. Also, they kept taking kids out of my 5th hour. So, having one 15-person class is great, but that means my other classes are that much larger, 26 being the largest and one of the least manageable. This room is just too small for that many kids.
