TGIF

I tell ya what, all of the teachers in my building are glad it's Friday. For some odd reason, I thought it was just me who was struggling with the kids. As it turns out, I heard a lot of teachers sharing the same frustrations I was feeling. To be honest, in my classroom the kids aren't that much worse, I just find myself less tolerant this week. I have one child who is still off his meds, so he wears on me. And, Renaldo was in fine form today, choosing not to take a Reading Test that he had studied for all week with Grandpa. I had to walk him out at the end of the day to inform his Grandpa of the events. I tell ya, it's good we have 2 days off...it seems everyone needs a break.

I was even walking through the office today and there were about 4 kids sitting there, waiting to be seen because they had been in trouble, and the secretary says, "everyone, HUSH!" I just looked at her and said, "I feel your pain, I really do." To which she replied, "We're fed up with it. We need a break." Amen!

The word is that a "wintry mix" is headed our way Sunday Night into Monday. Perhaps a snow day would help too. Of course, it all has to be gone before Friday because I need to head to the Parental's House next week. :-)

For now, I'm gonna go tutor and relax a bit.

Have a GREAT weekend!
