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!

Hi Whitney! I was so excited to see your comment on Jonna's page. It looks like you are having an interesting year. I'm so sorry. I had a horrible year last year, but yours takes the cake. I'm glad you had a better day the next day, and flowers always help!!
i can relate...remember grant? don't forget, sometimes the most difficult kids become your favorites and you can never forget them. sounds kind of rough...hang in there!
p.s-no it's not hell...it really is just 2nd grade!:)
Whitney, You can handle this. I know you can! Remember you handled those two weird kids, I can't remember their names, but they were best friends and one got switched to another class in the year. I want to say her name was Rebecca? Does this ring a bell? Anyway, You can do it. You have more patinece than anyone I have ever met! Plus you are in love which just makes people happy. And let's face it, happy people just don't kill their second graders! ha ha! love ya!
Oh Whitney....I miss you sooo much!! We want you back at the pony. Oh wait, let me rephrase that: I WANT YOU BACK AT THE PONY!!! As it turns out I am pretty much the last one of us left. I'm excited for your new relationship! You need to keep me posted. Sorry about your class this year, but you have had problems with poopers before...let's not forgot Douglas!!! I love you Whit!
