The Day Was Hmmm…

The day started out good enough. I was running a little late, but was still calm. I don’t know what set me off, but after Recess, I was pretty moody. I wasn’t sad. I wasn’t mad. I was just hmmm… I don’t know how to describe how I was feeling. I guess everything stems from [...]

Guess Who’s Their Favorite???

I almost cried today. Why??? Well, it was in a good way. I blushed as I was the teaching Religion lesson. Today’s lesson was about a teacher making a difference. So, as part of the lesson, I had to ask the students who their favorite teacher was & why. I got a resounding, “You!” “Wow, [...]

Back to the Lecture @ Hand…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!

Looking Forward to It!

I am so looking forward to this break. I REALLLLLY need it.

Damn You, Murphy!

I had very successful parent conferences. I had my final one today. Only 2 parents did not show. I wasn’t surprised though. It’s always at least one. That’s not what I want to talk about though. What I want to talk about is this jerk named Murphy and his law. Who is he and why [...]

Flaming 7′s!

In the summer I went to Las Vegas with my friend of 30 years, Annette. We stayed at the Venetian. It is so nice. The suite we were in cost $1,389/night. It was nice, but not almost $1,400/night nice.  But, I digress. We were there because Annette was in a Blazing 7′s slot machine tournament. [...]

So Far, So Good!

Parent conferences went great today. So far, so good!

I Guess I Can’t do that Anymore!

I’ve been going back over some of my posts and have found them Disabled By Request. I’ve also discovered that I cannot embed any YouTube videos. I am thinking about switching to private hosting. It seems I am able to do less and less with WordPress these day.

It Wasn’t Their Fault!

I feel so bad! I was fussing at my students yesterday for taking their work home because I didn’t get a chance to document the grades. Well, I found the work. It’s actually been in the trunk of my car for a couple of weeks. I am so going to sneak this work back into [...]

It’s Report Card Time!

Well, it’s that time. I will be completing Report Cards this week and getting ready for parent conferences Monday & Tuesday. Thank God I don’t have bad news for the parents. HERE’S TO 2010!

Happy Veteran’s Day!

This is for all the veterans who served or are currently serving in our armed forces. I offer a heartfelt Thank You!

Happy 13th Birthday David!

I wanna’ cry as I write this. My baby is a baby no more. My youngest son, David, is officially a teen-ager today! If we were Jewish he would be having a Bar Mitzvah to welcome him into manhood. We aren’t. The next best thing is ribbing from my older sons. He narrowly missed being [...]

It’s All My Fault!!!

Yes, I admit it. It’s all my fault! What, you ask? I take credit for my students not paying attention because they’re looking at the Scholastic book order form, looking forward to the next book they are going to order. I take credit for them being read-a-holics! While it’s true that some of them were [...]
