I love kids' writing

behavior

First Grade:

I was handed a behavior chart by a first grader today. He was expected to: keep his hands and feet to himself, sit up, be quiet, listen to directions, stay on task and finish his work. He certainly wasn't a model student but I couldn't decide how to answer those questions. How much of his behavior was him being a pill and how much of it was him being a first grader?

Overall, today was another good day.

First day back 2011

Was awesome! Thank goodness!

Third graders were super sweet. One decided I should continue to be in her classroom as a second teacher and added a note to my sub notes about it. I told the office about it and the receptionist exclaimed, "Oh! And she liked O.! Let's keep her!" Apparently not everyone thinks O. is as cute as I do.

This school does Make Your Day and I probably should've used the program more, but after those other schools last year I just couldn't punish them. They were practically angels.

Oh, and the staff ate in the lunch room. Green flag!
