I figured this would happen. It usually does. The local newspaper got a hold of the information published in that church’s article and wrote an article of their own filled with crap and fluff. Not a fact in sight other than our principal’s name and the name of our school. You can read my firstContinue reading “Back in the Media”

A Peek at my Week…Week 22
Hooray for short weeks! I love four day weeks that end with a crazy night of Bunco! I absolutely love my coworkers and can’t imagine working anywhere else in the world. Not much to report from inside the classroom this week. A kid pooped his pants and was sent home, but that’s just another dayContinue reading “A Peek at my Week…Week 22”
A Peek at my Week…Week 21
With crazy weather, comes crazy kids! It rained every other day this week and made the kids transform into little monsters. They are like a bunch of tiny Gremlins when they get wet! To add to the insanity, we celebrated the 100th day of school and had a hot chocolate Fun Friday 🙂 We wroteContinue reading “A Peek at my Week…Week 21”
Character Defamation at its Worst
As teachers, when we find a resource that we feel would be beneficial for our students and their families, we send it home. We don’t add our endorsement. We don’t voice whether or not we agree with the resource. We do what we feel would be best for the students and send it home. IContinue reading “Character Defamation at its Worst”
A Peek at my Week…Week 20
Our first week back was surprisingly uneventful (thank goodness). I did learn that we have a clepto in kindergarten!!! During centers on Monday, I noticed a clump of students hovering around one of my frequent fliers telling him to “give it back”. I went over to see what was going on, sent the clump backContinue reading “A Peek at my Week…Week 20”
A Peek at my Week…Week 19
Winter break has come and gone and I did not do a single thing on my teacher to-do list (including report card stuff, sorry admin!). Oh well, maybe next year! I did rest a lot and reflect on my time at the Ron Clark Academy. I went through my pictures and decided I’m going toContinue reading “A Peek at my Week…Week 19”
Ron Clark Academy!!!
OMG! I can not believe I am writing a post about actually visiting the Ron Clark Academy. The summer before my first year of teaching, I went to the I Teach K conference and Ron Clark was the key note speaker. I was in awe of his bluntness and charisma. I knew I wanted toContinue reading “Ron Clark Academy!!!”
A Peek at my Week…Week 18
This is it! We have made it to the halfway point 🙂 This week, I was lucky enough to mark the #1 thing off my (and most teacher’s) teaching bucket list. I attended the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, GA! Read all about it here. In addition to being a kindergarten wannabe rockstar, I alsoContinue reading “A Peek at my Week…Week 18”
A Peek at my Week…Week 17
This week was one to write about! This past week has been the most challenging so far. On Monday, a student threw up on the way to computer lab for testing. She was out for the next two days. On Tuesday, another friend earned himself an all inclusive private island in room 3 because heContinue reading “A Peek at my Week…Week 17”
A Peek at my Week…Week 16
Goodbye November….Hello to surviving the next three weeks until winter break! These next three weeks will be filled with fun and mandated testing :/ I know it’s necessary, but it’s still a pain and the timing is terrible. Who thought it was a good idea to test in December? Not a teacher. A couple yearsContinue reading “A Peek at my Week…Week 16”
