The weeks are too long!

The other day one of my students decided to get up and turn the lights off in the lunchroom while everyone was eating.   When I picked my class up and was filled in on what she had done,I asked why and her answer was, "Well, it was kind of funny."

I very sternly said, "I asked WHY you turned the lights off."

At this point she put her hands out in front of her and said very slowly and in the tone of voice most grown ups use when they're telling a child something for the second time, "It was kind of funny."

That's right ladies and gentlemen, my five year old kindergarten student decided to cause total chaos in the lunchroom because she thought "it was kind of funny"!

Seriously, how far away is June?

Crazy!

I spent the morning in a workshop about an updated version of a computer program we use at school. It was wonderful!  I love the old program, but the new one really has a lot more to offer.

Get this ~ the new program is only for the ESOL students in our classes.  That means three of my 18 students get to use the wonderful new program while the others have to continue using the older version of the same program.

Please, someone, explain to me how this makes sense!

Why do weekends have to end?

Random acts of kindness...

I was out and about today running errands when I stopped at Target to pick up a couple of things.  My order totaled $18.95.  I paid using a Target gift card I've been carrying around for a couple months.

After I was finished, I turned to the lady that was in line behind me held out the gift card and said, "I think there's a dollar left on this card and it's yours if you want it."  You would not believe the reaction I got from her or the cashier! You would have thought I handed over a million dollars.  They were both so surprised and happy by what I had done.

I walked away smiling and yet still thinking, " Really, people, it was just a dollar!"

Have we become such a self centered society that the gift of a dollar deserves such a surprised response?  It's pretty sad if we have!

So, go there and hand someone in line behind you a dollar or whatever is left on that gift card you keep forgetting to use and make their day.  Their reaction is guaranteed to make yours too.
