Spring Break!

     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!
