5th Grade Loveline:

They are always so interested in my personal life. Especially who I am dating. Of course they think I am dating/about to date/interested in/engaged to/the wife of our D.A.R.E officer (Thanks Katy, for fanning that flame, btw).

Here is a little gem from today:

"Miss, what if you liked a guy but he was trapped in a snow globe? Would you try and kiss him through the glass?"


Also, a few months ago I had them do a fact and opinion acrostic poem using their names. One poem had to all be facts about themselves, the other all opinions. I used my own name for an example and I let them help me build it. When we got the the "I" in LISA one of the kids suggested "Is single". I know its a fact, but thanks for rubbing it in. SICK BURN KID!

Ahhh, can you tell we're new to the job?

Because none of us can find time to post to save our lives. And even though I have report cards etc to do tonight, I wanted to remind us all (including myself) to find time to post! We are all nearing the end of the year, and I'd love to hear how your winters/springs are going. Especially with the end of the year approaching, it's getting more and more difficult to maintain the classroom that I expect. I'd love some tips on keeping the behavior 'in-check.'
I'm off to accomplish something other than watching Glee and the Biggest Loser.
I WILL post this week. I have stories and things I want to talk about!

I hope you all are doing well and have contract renewals for next year!
