The Work Week in PICTURES :)

In a paragraph about bullying (and how to put an end to it!), a student suggests that those who are being bullied simply "SUCK IT UP PRINCESS", a term used by Mr. Phillip during P.E. fitness blasts.....

The most beautiful sight one can see in a classroom:  EMPTY INBOXES!!!  They equate to ZERO MARKING and one big SIGH OF RELIEF!  Temporarily, that is.  An hour later....they were filling up once again!

Last week the treasure was bracelets.  This week it was "just a small cake" to celebrate a club member's birthday.  My gosh it was BEAUTIFUL!  And three different kinds of cake composed the interior:  red velvet, chocolate crunch and vanilla!  The girls ran off as soon as clubs was finished, leaving Em, Phil and I with the leftovers.  DARN!  Haha.  We brought some home, but gave the majority of it to the guards. 

I had one of those days this week.  Where your kids don't listen and you wonder if your voice is actually functioning or just a figment of your imagination.  Even my teddy grahams were clowning around.  Must have been a full moon....

Teaching can be a rollercoaster, with really high times and some really low ones.  This picture marks one of the former.  Imagine the sweetest little thing walking into your class one morning, smiling as big as ever with a bouquet of pink roses and luxury brownies.  Melt my heart, it did! 

I also liked the moment where one of my really hip students yelled out, "MISS!  I brought my English binder to class.  I am sorry, but the problem is that it is a look alike with my science binder!!!"  And the moment where one of my....ah-hem....."energetic" students belted out Miley's "Wrecking Ball" without realizing it.

Sweet moments aside, weekends are super.  And that's what it is now.  THE WEEKEND!  YIPPEE!!
