Today I earned the title, "Best Teacher Ever!" Bet you are
wondering what I did to deserve this honor? Well, let me tell you: when the kids arrived this morning one asked me if they could draw in their journals. They were supposed to be reading after they put their stuff away, but I said they could draw if they wanted (I didn't really care). Usually they only get to draw on Friday mornings, but because I let them do it on Thursday (!) it apparently nominated me for sainthood - at least in their minds. To show their eternal gratitude to me, they drew me many pictures - two of which are featured on the right. Both of these, as I'm sure you can tell, are portraits of me! I'm still not sure why I have a cat on my head in the second one. :/
The day really pretty well with the exception of the last 10 minutes or so. It was at that time that all the students unanimously (okay, really only about 5-7 of them) decided to bicker with each other and yell and pick on each other, and run around the room and hide under tables. Yeah. That lasted for oh...about 5 seconds - and then they got to meet not-nice Miss Barnes. She made them all sit on the carpet in silence until the final bell rang while she talked to them about the behavior that was expected. They did not like this. But it was quiet.
I win.
Tomorrow it's a return to my favorite school for a 4/5 blend. Hopefully I'll get to do some fun Valentine's stuff with them!

Hahaha I LOVE the picture with the cat on your head... guess they didn't know that cats are on your hit list lol :) and I love the "I win" part too!
I love the pictures! Cats! your favorite. Sounds like a fun day over all. Glad Miss Not-so-Nice was able to show 'em who's boss. I'm even more glad that tomorrow is already lined up and ready to go for you. Have fun with Valentines, Rhonda
Those pictures are great! The cat thing is especially funny. Good job on setting them straight on who's the boss. I bet you'll be the "best teacher ever" again tomorrow!
Love you!!! MOM
