Thanksgiving




Ok I have been MIA. I have a great excuse well kind of! Thanks to Heidi and Shauna I have been glued to my phone. This next statement may be a shocker but I think I am hanging up my player shoes. Ok I have and I am loving it! It is true. Pick up your jaw and keep reading. I am so excited this. Brian and I spent Thanksgiving together in Jackson Hole with his family (his family is so much fun) and it was perfect! I don’t think either of us has stopped smiling since picked him up at the airport. Next he is coming to Glendale for Christmas (this is new for me so... ADVICE? )

2nd Grade or Hell?

This Past Thursday...

A student barfed on the ramp up to my classroom. Another student tracked it in! EWWWW!

One of my freaked out and was removed by the behavior specialist. When we walked by the AC room (alternative classroom) I was surprised to see 4 cops pinning one of my student to the floor. The rest of my class was mortified! I was too, one of the cops was cute so of course I bee lined it there once I dropped the kids off. He was married!
That student has bit, hit, bushed and kicked, myself and 4 other adults. She pushed me over one day. I’m sure I wouldn’t have fallen down if I was able to balance but I’m kind of challenged in that department.

A kid pooped on the floor; actually it fell out of his pants. I didn't PUKE so I guess that was a personal victory! I had the whole class leave the room until the custodian cleaned it up.


A student stole the following items
1. My 3-hole punch
2. A 2 in. binder
3. The file with my homework masters for the year
4. The comprehension tests for the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th reading units
5. 40 pencils
My class was in another 2nd grade class and he "went to the bathroom". He really went to our classroom and had a random file cabinet raiding 5 minutes.

I announced that I was quitting to my pony replacements... (My new teacher friends) they just laughed and offered to take my class the next day!

I know all of you miss teaching from time to time, when you start thinking you are missing something then just think about this glorious day and be thankful you are at home with children that you love unconditionally. (Sorry! That was kind of sappy)

The next day at school things were MUCH MUCH MUCH better and I got flowers! Hello flowers are always a fun surprise!
