Is Friday here yet?

Today was the longest day ever.  I was so happy to be walking my kids out of the building today.  I’m not looking forward to tomorrow.  My class is going on a trip tomorrow.  So basically it will be a crazy day.  I have to write up name tags tomorrow with the school address and phone number. 

I’m so looking forward to my week off next week.  I can’t wait for this weekend.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day!

My valentines day was pretty good.  It was basically spent singing and dancing with my kids.  We had so much fun.  I think they think I’m losing it now.  We had a lot of fun though, and that’s all that matters.  I was actually surprised that I got some gifts from my kids today.  I totally wasn’t expecting it.  They are so sweet.  I just love them so much. 

I also got the dvd “The Prince and Me” and I got a pretty skirt, which I will probably wear tomorrow.  I love presents!  Not to mention chocolate and candy and stuff.

Fabulous

I had the best day ever today.  I missed my kids so much.  I told them that I still wasn’t feeling well and I couldn’t yell or talk over them, so they better be on their best behavior or they will miss out on gym.  They were so good.  I just love them so much.  I think they may have even missed me too. 

It’s FRIIIIIIDAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still siiiick...

I stayed home sick today.  I was just feeling so horrible yesterday and I knew if I went in today, I would have come home feeling the same way and I couldn’t do that to myself.  I hope the extra sleep will help me to make it through my day tomorrow. 

I heard my kids gave one of the prep teachers a problem, and they are usually so good for her.  So I can only imagine that they were horrible all day today.  We even had recorder and the guy who teaches it I know has no control, so they probably didn’t get to play.  Hopefulyl I’m wrong and they had a great day and there won’t be nasty notes about how horrible my kids are.

Work

The problem child actually did her work today.  She only came to visit my class for 10 minutes.  I was so happy because I really wasn’t in the mood for her today.  She did write me another note, letting me know that she misses me and cares about me.  I don’t think she needs me so much anymore.  So that’s a good thing.  I just hope she can make it another three months.  I had finally handed in all the paperwork to get her into special ed.  So hopefully, that will be done as quickly as possible. 

I had agreed to talk to problem childs sister with the other teacher about the “odor” problem.  Now I picture problem child and sister getting into a fight and sister telling her, your teachers think you smell.  That would not be good.  Maybe going to her sister was a bad idea.  I guess we will find out. 

Exciting night

So I watched the super bowl last night.  I wasn’t all that impressed.  I think I always think it’s more fun than it actually ever is.  I had wanted to make a bet to make it slightly more interesting, but someone didn’t want to make a “real” bet.  I guess it was his loss though, because now I don’t owe him a dinner.  I got home kind of late last night, which left me slightly sick and kind of tired and cranky today.  It’s going to be a long week, I can feel it already.

The weekend

I was invited out to some club in Long Island tonight, but it’s not really my thing.  I think I would really like to see a movie this weekend.  I don’t think I’ve been to a movie in awhile.  I don’t even know what is out though, so who knows. 

I will be watching the super bowl since I watch it every year, even though, I still don’t really have a good understanding of the game and I don’t ever watch football. 

I had wanted to give blood, but then again I have been wanting to since the beginning of January and it hasn’t happened yet, so it doesn’t seem likely.  I just thought it would be nice to try to save a life 6 times a year.  So I guess it’s just a little disappointing that there hasn’t been a good weekend yet. 

Completely unrelated to this weekend, I have to take a test on the 26th for my permanent certification.  This being a teaching thing is a pain in the ass most of the time.  Being a teacher is so hard.

One person can make you so happy

I wrote a letter to the problem child that use to be mine.  She came over to my class today and gave me a hug and was so happy today.  She even made me a card.  It was nice to see her so happy.  It really made my day.  Spending two hours filling out paperwork to get her referred has kind of sucked.  Hopefully she’ll get the services that she needs in another three months. 

I couldnt be happier that she went home with a huge smile on her face.

Go Red for Women

Today kind of sucked.  I’m ready for the week to be over. 

In other news:
February 4th is National Wear Red Day for Women.  Basically Heart disease is women’s number 1 killer.  So Friday, everyone should be wearing red.  I even got a pretty pin.  It’s a pin of a red dress and it has a cute heart on it.

no longer my problem

My problem child is no longer my problem.  I was told that they decided to remove her from my class because they felt that my other kids would not be able to handle it and that it would make everyone uncomfortable. 

So she got into her new classroom at 11am and went to lunch.  Came back and did math.  She then went to dance, got in trouble and decided to walk out.  Yeah, I’m glad she’s not my problem anymore.  Part of me is glad that happened because it really shows that she has problems and it wasn’t me.  I just wish she didn’t have so many problems.  I can’t imagine the things she has been faced with in only 8 years.  She is apparently still mad at me and holding a grudge since she refused to say hello to me today.  I guess it really worked out having her somewhere else.  I just feel kind of sad, I wish there was more that I could have done for her, and part of me is really going to miss her. 

I think I’ll send her a card, but I’m just not sure what I will write in it yet, so I guess I should give it some thought. 

Other than that, we had a pretty good day today.  I changed lots of seats and did my fair share of yelling today.  I did however have them come in and write how they feel, I think the best was when boy C wrote: “I’m happy because my teacher hasn’t yelled at all today.  Well until now, she is yelling now.”
