I think that my students have lost thier minds.  Today was absolutely CRAZY.  I really think that they don't care.  I can't  blame them.  The hurricane was enough, but then they had to go to school an extra hour for 53 day!  BURNOUT is inevitable!  But, we have more objectives to meet!  I need more grades!  They need more AR points.  They need to listen.  They need to know how much each coin is worth.  They need to know when and how to add -ing.  How am I going to get all of this done.  I am going to NEED lots of ice cream. (Which I had today, because I was so stressed out!)

 

I was really upset yestereday because of something that was said by a student.  I was out sick on Monday (details in earlier blog).  My little student told her grandmother that she didn't have recess because the assistant (that graciously substituted for me) was too lazy.  Considering that the grandmother is an assistant too, I thought that she would be appauled, but she wasn't.  The child's family is very sweet and her mother is such a help during parties and such, but I don't think that they know how judgemental their child has become.  Now having second thoughts about looping next year (if an option).  May need more ice cream!

 

I will find out this week (hopefully), if I am going to New York!  Can't wait.......no ice cream necessary!!!!!
