Limo Ride #2

I was in the middle of teaching Reading this morning and the office buzzed for me. They wanted to know if it would be possible for me to escort some of the kids in a limo to Cici's Pizza. I said, "sure." I went last year but I hadn't volunteered this year because I figured that they had already asked others to do it. I sent my kids back to their classes and went up to the office and let me pick which group to take. I opted for the 4th and 5th graders. I will admit that was selfish of me. The big kids know how to get their pizza and beverages without much help, so I was basically there to keep an eye on them without much hassle.

I only had ten kids, and they were all REALLY well behaved. I sat there at the table and looked at them and figured out really quickly that they are all from good homes. They are all probably from higher income homes, but that's just my estimation I'm not sure on that. And, honestly, I think I needed that. I think I needed to be reminded that some of these kids are from good homes like the one I had when I was growing up. I spend so much of my time with kids that have parents that are less than ideal that it was refreshing today to be with those kids.

Of course, the free pizza was a treat too! I'll admit, Cici's isn't my favorite pizza, but when it's free it's not all bad!

Hehehe!

9 school days left...I can't wait for the break!

Later!
