1. It is Teacher Appreciation Week!!!! No better way to thank me then let me administer a STAAR test!

1a. It was a blessing because my kids get on my nerves talking to me about nothing. I enjoyed the silence.

1b. I did not enjoy these kids taking five-ever on this test though. 

2. Most teachers aren't out here begging for gifts, I also don't believe in forced gift-giving either ( i.e. buy these specific gifts, a wish list is fine though) BUT something for your teacher or child's teacher would be nice. A card or note realllly does go a long way...

2a. I wish I was at private school just for this week because they get all the bomb gifts! Wine baskets, cars, gift cards, breakfast, lunch, dinners...man the life...

2b. We had a little note situation at work and they are hanging up in the hallway....WHY did Captain Oblivious get all these appreciation notes???I think they were all from athletics but still...now he's going to think he really did something. Ugh...yea yea yea he probably changed a kids life and kids need to be connected but he could have joined Big Brother Big Sister for all of that. Then he could be on his phone all day with no issues!

3. I did Saturday School because I'm a team player ya know but we were playing Jeopardy and there was a miscellaneous category...
"What's miss-cell-anus?
"Malicious for $500?" (Malicious was an abbreviation I was told)
"Misshellaneous" was the proper pronunciation apparently

4. A colleague was in my room due to testing tings and well...she said that I had fleas in my room...and now I have another department to beef with...my kids held it down though
"You don't know her like that! She has dogs but they don't be in the class AND we never had "fleas" until today so...."

I've taught them well!

5. In professional matters...if you want to do various positions involving education on the middle school level or know somebody that does, holla at me...also this means WORK not be on the phone all day. I would hate to have to vent about more people on here...

February 6, 2019 1. A/C Update: The fan is busted. It is from 1995. I was in kindergarten. The district is trying to find the company and manufacturer to replace parts. They are currently diverting air from the other fan to our hallway. If that doesn't work we will be out of our classrooms for a week. 1a. The first time I'm glad my room has no windows. Luckily it will be cooler then freezing for the rest of the week. I hope it doesn't affect the heat...although I do enjoy a  good room temperature building instead of HELL degrees. 2. Two fights in the morning. One at breakfast. The other in 1st period. Who wakes up wanting to fight? 2a. I was luckily not a witness to either of these altercations. I would have kept on brand and not broken it up. Just screamed for help. 2b. It was boys fighting and it is easier to get them to stop than girls...I probably still wouldn't but it's the thought that counts right? 3. I love my nerd class. They let me play Blue ...

Today was...a wild one... 1. Kids were caught vaping and a young drug dealer was almost apprehended. I swear they are like Carmen San Diego. You have them and then you don't. 2. The Superintendent came into my classroom during the last period...last 20 minutes. I had been forewarned about this but still... 2a. My kids were doing what they were supposed to...for the most part. 2b. Of course he spoke with the worst possible student...BUT THEY HELD IT DOWN THOUGH! 2c. He was pleased and that is really all that matters. 3. Education is real wasteful if you think about it. We never truly stay with any one thing long enough to get what we need from it. It's like 'oh you're not using it, so we're (THE MAN) is going to take it away." When really it takes time to incorporate a new system into your curriculum. I understand wanting results but make a pilot program before you get to throwing things away. 4. I strongly dislike when people send me emails abou...

1. Ya'll the A/C is out in my entire hallway. Texas is not experiencing the polar vertex and it is particularly balmy. Pray that we all make it during this trying time. 1a. I always tell the kids to tell their parents about these issues so they can complain. Do they? NOPE! But as soon as they take something out of context here comes mom with with all the emails and phone calls. 1b. Hell, I should get my mama to call! 2. My students have an odd issue with attention and personal space. When I was in school I left my teachers alone. Beyond the general curiosity, gossip and the fact that people lived next to my teachers, had siblings that could tell you stories AND we would go as groups to our teachers houses....anywho...I really didn't care enough but these kids? Parents love on your children! 2a. They have to say hi, every time you see them. If you tell them to leave you alone, the more they try to get in your space. 2b. You tell them not to touch you. They try to hug...
