Work Rantings
In 1999, I was hired on as a Resource Room teacher at an Puget Sound area elementary school with a large military population. After a few year of that, I made the switch over to 5th grade, where I have remained ever since. Most parts of the job are a delight but there are a few aspects which are less than great. I'll usually do anything to get out of such drudgery; including sending my colleagues thrilling accounts of all my adventures out Potable #49.
Barnes and Noble Fundraiser (Again)
Saturday went pretty well. Granted, you don't want to follow SS during this sort of thing but I think I kept the kids pretty well entertained.
Miscommunication
Time: This afternoon.
Scene: Mrs. S's Class.
Event: Students scurrying enter the classroom to get to work. In the scrum, one boy, T, is grimacing in pain from bumping into something. Seems his finger got smashed.
Life in a Portable
By the way, you'll appreciate this. You appreciate this sort of "earthy" humor. I told part of my story to R-Dub yesterday when I was pointing out her classroom restroom has its downsides.
Thursday about 3:55 PM. I'm on the throne for a good long while. So much so that even I am starting to say, "Damn! I really stink! What the hell have I been eating?' Finish my bid'ness and leave the restroom.
Just as B is walking in the classroom door.
Creative Use of Cream Cheese
Well, after last week's cream cheese log (AKA: The Ivory Turd), I have decided go with a... less daring bet and so today it's Cream Cheese Mints. They kind of remind me of York Peppermint Patties and I'll put the Tupperware in the right hand freezer; right next to the big bag of burritos. Enjoy.
Fundraiser at Barnes and Noble
By 4:00, I was having a little trouble keeping the youngsters enthralled.
