It's amazing to me that school now starts for us at the beginning of August!  Why would ANYONE want to go back that early?  Especially since it is the absolutely hottest month for us down south.  You know it's bad when the kids are begging to go back inside from recess after only a couple of minutes outside! We all are pretty rank after 15 minutes in the hellish heat on our mostly shadeless

It's been a LONG time since I wrote in this blog!  I guess I kind of let the time slip away with everything that's been going on.  Well,another school year came and went and now it's coming again in a couple of weeks.  I guess I'm ready to meet a new group of kids, but it's a little hard getting used to a whole new bunch.  It's never the same, that's one thing  for sure. Each group brings its own

This week is going to be a long one, I think. The repercussions of too much candy from Halloween are evident--the kids are freakin' wild! They are really into yacking it up, and I find myself having to remind them every couple of minutes to settle down. They aren't doing anything deplorable--just being way too lively. However, just when I think I've about to reach my limit, the unexpected

Well, another day down since I got back in town. Man, Halloween sucks! The kids are so wired they can hardly remember they're in school. My student teacher did a lesson today that I had to evaluate, and it went pretty stinky.

Last Thursday I was enjoying a few quiet minutes while my kids were at specials. I was sitting at my computer typing up a quiz, when two arms latched onto my neck from behind. I could tell they weren't the arms of one of my second graders, because they felt much stronger. I turned around, and there was James, now a much bigger fourth grader. I asked him what he was up to, and he just smiled
