Day 65

Today I was bad. I made one of my students cry when I told her I was going to move her if she did not stop talking; and I meant it. She and my unnamed new student of three weeks were gabbing and I had had enough. I apologized for making her cry; however I told her she needed to ignore the new student even if he was being obnoxious.

I also made another one of my student mad at me because I made him take an alternative recess when he was not paying attention during reading. I also had him redo his cursive writing because he slopped through it. I believe by the end of the day he was over being mad. His sister brought me a pencil today. I talked with my student and told him I would keep the pencil in case she needed it. I give several students treats after school most nights and she is one of those who stop by to see me.

Several of our playground equipment is missing so I told my students they could not use any more equipment until they found our missing balls. One showed up. I will have to see about more.

I left tonight at 3:40 so I could go to the School Board reception for our cluster teachers. I was invited by my principal to attend. It was okay and they had lots of refreshments for those who attended. After the meeting I attended my Lesson Plan Jam meeting. I got there in time to pick up the hand outs and leave; however I had emailed them to let them know I would be late.
