Ok...lets remember what this day was like when you were in school. You filled out valentines cards for EVERYONE, boys and girls alike. Even the ones you did not like. Then you taped a paperbag to the front of your desk and that afternoon you walked around depositing the cards into the bags. Well.....its not quite the same now but close. We send a list of names home with each student, ask that they NOT send sweets and still someone is missed and in comes the candy. Which part of NOT do families not understand. These kids are on sugar overload as it is and do not need the additional boost.
In other news, this is a busy time of year for us. We have testing and holidays and I am on the leadership team and we are busier than a bee right now. Then it was sprung on us that we are observing another leadership team (another school) this Friday which means I have to readjust my lesson plans to accommodate a sub......geesh a little warning please!
Other than that all is good. Everyone has settled in to a student leaving and everything is running smooth. More to follow, but that is all the news that is news.
Take care and BE GOOD HUMANS!

Burden Lifted
Well the nightmare that has been this event is over! My problem child...no problem parent is moving on. Unfortunately, this means he is going to have to change schools twice within the next 6 months. Not something that is going to be easy for him to do..but there was not reasoning with this woman. Thank you everyone for your support during this trying time.
On a happier note - we did a role-playing activity today that had everyone cracking up in the classroom. We practiced allowing someone else to pass in front of you and how to respond. You would not think this would create the laughter it did but the kids were hysterical and we all laughed ourselves silly.
I can't believe we are almost through our second grading period. I have to start testing which is always so much fun...NOT but I am sure they are all going to do great!
Well more later - take care and BE GOOD HUMANS!
