I can't even begin to tell you all the things you've missed in my room. I still love my kids, even though they talk...all the time!! I wanted them all to love one another, just not this much :) We have already had a few fights and tears. I think I make someone cry at least once a day. I can't stand cryers, but I am trying so hard to be nice. And they cry over nothing!! We are still at 20 kids in my classroom. I am loving that number. It's not too many and they love me. It's taken me a while to get to love the girls...
Since it's too much to catch you up on, I'll just start with today. I got to school early (it's been a trend this year) and I was ready to go. But, when I picked up my kids, they were so loud. We get breakfast taken care of and that's when it really starts. THEY WERE TALKING SO MUCH AND SO LOUDLY! Then, I found out that some of my parent's went to the assistant principal about a classroom problem that should have been addressed with me. That really bothered me. I am a caring and understanding person. Why did they feel the need to go above me?! Oh well, the rest of the day was wonderful until...
I am minding my own business in front of the school with the kids as they wait on their parents to pick them up. One of my kids stops me and says that a brother is looking for a student in my room. I explain to the brother where the student is when I see the mama coming up. I meet her and try to talk to her but she just started cussing me out...yes, right there in front of everyone. There was nothing I could do, so I just walked away. I don't have to listen to that :)
There has been some excitement at school. For example, yesterday some parents got in a fight in front of the school and the cops had to be called. One parent had a warrant and went to jail. Today there was a fight in the lunchroom. I, like all the students, wanted to see the action. Then I remembered I was a teacher and decided to try to control the crowd. Ha.
All in all, it's still wonderful. I am love that I have a heart to work where I do. Not just anyone can do it!
