Looking Good
There's a little girl in my class who does not like wearing her glasses. In the beginning of the year, I would try to get her to wear them by telling her how cute she looked when she has them on. That didn't impress her much!
So, awhile back, I changed tactics and started telling her how if she didn't wear them she couldn't see how cute I was. That got lots of laughs, but it worked.....until recently....
I know that it is just a matter of time until I have to change tactics again. So, today I tried this....
You don't have your glasses on! You can't see how pretty I am when you aren't wearing them and my hair looks especially good today.
Without saying a word, the girl got up to get her glasses from her book bag and a kid on the other side of the room said.....
Ms. Brown, you need to stop now. You've gone too far.

It was one of those days...
It was rainy and cold and the perfect day for staying home in pajamas. So, why did I have to go to work?
On Monday, my school made the local news. Apparently, some of the big kids claimed "food poisoning" and they were actually getting sick!
So, the district office called, the health department was called, fire and rescue and even the police were called. They were all at school checking everything out and some of them were even back on Tuesday.
It turns out, the kids purposely made themselves sick. GROSS!
Last week they were in the lunch room doing the cinnamon challenge and a food fight. This week it's this. I wonder what the coming weeks will bring.
My theory on all of this is that they are acting out so much because of the fact that they have not been allowed any freedom this year.

Monday again!
For reasons I can't explain I've spend some time listening to country music lately. There's a song that says.....Every week has a weekend.
I have no idea who sings it or if it's an old song or a new one, but I'm getting myself through the next 5 weeks by reminding myself that.....every week has a weekend.
It's the only way I am going to make it to the end of a never ending school year!

We've reached a new low!
My "no fun in education" principal has now decreed that there will be no making Mother's Day projects. It takes away from "real learning".
Seriously!
Is it June yet?
