Reasonable Tuesday

Man I wish those kids wouldn't talk so much. They would talk to dust! I am glad to welcome Hana who will be helping me 2 hours 3 days a week and a volunteer parent who will help correct papers, xerox, and give the stink eye to the other class when I am working with the other class! I have a couple of students who would make better doorknobs. Honestly, I wonder how they got to 5th grade. Not passing to 6th that is for sure. One student of mine had a cell phone ring in class today and then got mouthy about it. Snotty little brat! I am sick of her trying to have the last word all the time and her backtalk. I told her today she will not be winning the fight with me. I will have the last word! I wonder if she talks to her mother like that. I told her today that we wear uniforms and I don't want to see her in jeans again tomorrow or I would send her home. She got mouthy and said "well maybe I won't come tomorrow" and then told me she didn't have to do math. She didn't get the lesson cause she thinks she is gifted and in the gifted and talented class. Well, guess what???? She would is average but was put in my class as a student that is more likely to be an independent worker. "Gifted" ??????? She does not know the meaning of the word! It is what it is and I told Mr. Z that I not only won the battle, I would win this war!

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
