Feeling Patriotic

A Nice Night For Soccer

Renaissance Festival, Anyone?

Charlie: Tomorrow, and the other morrow, AJ and I are going to play soccer.

See? Books Are Just Trouble

I hate using the issued curriculum at school. It always seems stilted and dry. I prefer to find or make my own.  But, I decided to give the school stuff a try, and tow the company line.

I was doing reading and we were reading a decode-able book called the Big Ram. 

The (male) psychologist walked in the room as I was reading the first line: "I want to be on top, Big Ram".   ( You can't make this stuff up. ) 

I am expecting a sexual harassment summons any day now. 

When Your Mom Is A Teacher

The love notes that get posted on your door can be a little different. 

Bat Phone

I saw this idea online, and thought I would give it a try. The tattling  is out of control in my classroom.  I put the tattle phone in the corner of the room. As long as the tattle does not involve one of the 4 "B's" (breathing, bleeding, barfing or broken), the students can leave a message on the phone. I will check the "messages" at the end of the day. 

Charlie even tested it out for me. 

Wish me luck!
