Well, Spring Break is coming to an end and it is the beginning of the end of the year follies. Testing, planning for culmination, closing the classroom......all the fun stuff. I have a funny story to tell, a truelife "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" story about one of my students.
It started a week ago Thursday in the evening. Joe (alias) did not want to do his homework so he told his brother to kick him in the hand. And he did.......an older brother I might add. Anyway, he told his mother his hand hurt but she was not buying it. He came to school the next day with the same complaint and I was not buying it. Now, you have to know that this boy is known for lying and not wanting to do anything. Later in the day he was playing tetherball and using both hands with not apparent distress.
So, this Wednesday I get a text from Mom asking if Joe needs to do anything special because he is in a cast. I shot back WHY? What happened? She said he had torn ligaments from when his brother kicked him and that his thumb had swelled and she finally took him to the doctor. I felt terrible, but am sooooooooooooo going to use this as a life lesson for all the students and that lying never is good and causes more problems than it solves.
So, that is my story for now. I will have more for you as we get closer to the end of the year and all. Thanks for following and BE GOOD HUMANS!

Wow! Where has the time gone!
Hello Everyone,
Where has the time gone this year? I truely meant to be more diligent in keeping this blog up to date, but the time has flown by. I apologize for that and can't help but wonder why as a child time was so slow and now it flies.
I have to say that the class is so much calmer now that our exploder has moved to another school. I have to say though that I have heard that he is worse at the new school, which is understandable, and has been moved to a behavior class. I feel sorry for him and the staff there at his new school.
Our class is busy at this time of the year with testing, growing plants, and raising butterflies. We are getting ready for the annual testing in four weeks and after that is the downhill slide to summer. I have put in my application for summer school and will keep you posted whether I am chosen. If not - mountains here I come.
Well, I am off to work. Enjoy your day and thanks for sticking with me.
