Humor in the 5th Grade
Don't we ALL say we are going to write a book "someday" about our teaching experiences. Well, we may never get around to writing that book, but we can use this venue to share classroom antics to remind each other part of what keeps us plugging away at our careers! Here's one that happened to me Thursday:
HUMOR IN OUR DAY:
"So you've shown me that you have an understanding of what text IS now raise your hand to tell me some examples of text," I stated.
"Cat......" responded Parisa with a soft voice when called on.
"Excuse me?" asked Miss Capps, still unable to discern her word.
"Cat....." she whispered again.
"Cattle?" queried I trying her hardest to hear.
"Well, no Parisa, I don't think cattle have text on them, dear."
Parker enthusiasticly raised his hand, "Well, they might if
they are branded with a whole word, Miss C!"

The Challenge . . .
Every day this month until Thanksgiving, think of one thing that you are thankful for and post it here. The longer you do it, the harder it gets! If you think you can do it, repost a reply to this message and then invite others to take the challenge. Post what YOU are thankful for today....
"Today I am thankful for..."
Good Morning!
The sun is shining and we're looking at nice warm temps here in Michigan today. Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday.
What's everyone up to this week-end?
THANK YOU VETERANS....
and may your day be a special one!! We're out of school for Veteran's Day, although I think it would be more significant for most of my students if we were in school....I doubt many are even thinking about the importance of this day....
I'll be woking on school work later, but have JH Basketball practice and some errands to deal with first.....would be nice to catch some "down time" tonight, but we'll have to see how it goes.....I'll try to stop by later....TC

Happy Monday
Here's hoping everyone has a good Monday and a great week. For us this is a four day week. We will be out Wed. for Veterans Day. Tomorrow my school will present a Vet. Day program for the community. After that I can relax until SGA gets ready for their Christmas project. Such a busy time of the year.
Happy Week-end!
Today was as productive as this week was stressful. I accomplished so much and now I'm exhausted but it's a "good" tired feeling.
Up early to communte to school. Took me 3 hours to clean up and re-organize my room after being gone 1-1/2 days with 2 different subs. Now wonder teachers drag themselves in to teach no matter what. Friday was the first sick day I've taken in over a year so I've been lucky. Sketched out my plans for the week and made some copies. Monday's schedule is on the board and I'm all set to go for one day. Good enough for now.
From there I drove straight to the supermarket (haven't been grocery shopping in weeks!) Two hours and $200 later, back home. Everything is put away and have my comfy pj's on. Life is good!
What a week.....
and it's not over yet!! Friday shouldn't be too bad, but we've a day long fundraiser that includes my basketball team playing in the AM and "working my shift" in the afternoon....yeah, a long day.....at least tonight's ballgame was moved to a different night, so I'm getting a bit of a break.
I'll be sure glad to see Sunday arrive....hope youhave a good one....TC

teachers weekend
It's teacher's convention weekend here in NJ. I'm one of those lazy sloths who never quite make it down to Atlantic City but I do appreciate the two days off to collect my thoughts.
Took a group of my seniors to a local senior citizen home yesterday to serve breakfast and socialize. They were great but it's scary how close to my age the "senior" citizens are becoming. How long until people are doing that kind of thing for me? It may be uncharitable but I'm much happier on the giving end then the receiving end of these types of activities.
Oh well next field trip is to a college fair - should be much less scary except we're taking @ 80 students. I'll be counting all day!! lol - Debbie
