Today was the day!  My principal was letting everyone know about the changes in assignments for next year.  I felt so bad for my friend in fifth grade.  It was like I was kicking her out and moving in....not a fair exchange.  One teacher was really upset and crying.  I tried to look at it from her point of view.  I would never want to teach at the middle school.  That would make me want to cry.  Hey, all I can do is what I am told.  The principal made the decisions, however I don't think that the school was accustom to drastic changes being made. 

 

I am looking forward to next year and flexing my mind with a higher level.  Someone will have to remind me of that when the students are in a hormonal buzz!!!!

 

I noticed something today that bothered me.  We say the pledge and sing a song every morning.  I noticed today that most of the teachers were not singing.  Now, I KNOW  I can't sing,but  I try because it is the right thing to do.  If we expect our students to have respect for the flag and what it stands for, then we must lead by example.  What does it show them if we aren't capable of singing the national anthem (albeit in a soft voice with four hundred people around).  With the issues of immigration surrounding the country (I will keep my opinions to myself for now....that is another time and another blog.) at the moment, we need to show a united front the values of our country.

I was tagged by Kai!  When I first began my blogging on msn, Kai's space was one of the first ones that I visited.  I had so many questions, and she was awesome with the answers (and patience).  Thanks Kai!!

 

 

6 weird things about me:

 

**I love ketchup and red sause, but hate tomatoes.  No tomato sandwiches for me!

**I can't stand it when people talk during the movie.....even at home!

**I have five degrees, yet I am qualified to do only one thing...teach!

**I can crochet.

**I still have my Shaun Cassidy albums and a 45 of the theme to the "Dukes of Hazzard" and "Who Shot J.R.".  It's okay because I still have my Elvis and Bon Jovi albums too. (I am really not that old!!!)

**I like all kinds of music.  Seriously,....50s to the present and pretty much all genres.  I'm adopted, and I think that I have everyones.....adopted and birthparents....taste in music!  I know...weird!
