In the last week

I have:

• written a student up for telling another student, "Screw you."
  

• Reprimanded (loudly) the whole class for living like pigs. I mean, seriously, leaving your USED tissues on the floor is NOT OKAY!!!!

• taught my math group to "celebrate silently." They get to celebrate, I don't have to deal with the noise.

• tried to teach about subjects and predicates. Which is totally boring, even for me. And difficult since half of them STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT A SENTENCE IS. I find myself saying over and over again, "Just because it fits in a line...doesn't make it a sentence!"

• had a student tell me that his dad said I was spelling the word "signed" wrong in the planner. Turns out HIS KID was copying the word down wrong. Yes, your child can do no wrong apparently.

• written up another student for throwing stuff. When asked why, he replied, "Cuz I wanted to." Wrong answer, smartie pants. Apparently a high IQ doesn't make you "smart."
  

• Wished for Friday everrrrrry day.

Hooray for upcoming inservice Mondays!
