To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children... to leave the world a better place... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

So life has been rough lately. I am constantly frustrated with work. I am really looking forward to a break. I am also deciding if I want to continue in this position - or even in this school. I have been debating it since the end of last year but I never have the guts to do anything about it. I have no reason now to stay. My first two groups ( Read more... ) -
something to think about...great conversation piece if you are interested...
One of my friends wrote this...does it get you thinking? What do you think?
Like my last few notes, this one came to me in the shower, which seems to be rapidly developing into a place of personal and spiritual enlightenment. Either that or I need to focus on cleaning myself off and quit letting my mind wander.

For my birthday
For my birthday...
I don't need much
I don't need diamonds
I don't need money
I don't need material things
Those come and go
I just want you in my life
I want to know
you want to be in my life
A card
A letter
just the words
Just let me know
That's all I need
I couldn't ask for anything more
I don't need anything more
Just your friendship
Knowing you care
That is if ( Read more... ) -

My students made me cupcakes and I got a couple cards for my birthday. So sweet. It made me feel like someone actually thinks about me and cares.
But then 7th graders have to talk during a test and then I pull tests and give a detention for it. Of course then they whine that they got it and don't believe they deserve it. Ridiculous. Why do these ( Read more... ) -

So they may make me nuts and want to cry out of being furious with them every day but then...
they cut about 400 cards for me so I don't have to do it on my birthday. Gosh I love my students.

narrowing down
Class is over. Thank goodness. I honestly feel like I did not learn much from that class. It reminded me to keep my classroom in an engaging environment, but I remind myself of that often. I just sometimes don't have the strength or thinking capacity to come up with something wild and crazy to grab their attention so I give up and just do dry ( Read more... )
