As I sit writing having a stare down with the papers I need to grade I have decided to turn my swivel chair...one moment... there much better. Ahhh now on to bigger things than children's futures, writing an effective blog post. I'm not quite sure what has caused it but the whole week has seemed like Friday. It is like the kids have been poorly behaved. I think perhaps it's been due to school picture day (yes, I still had to take one), hands on science lessons, meetings before school, professional development after school, meeting during my plan time, extra recess, happy kids, crying kids, and kids being kids. I could say the best part has been the birthday treats brought to me from former students, but that wouldn't be completely true. While they were delicious, yesterday brought me something better.
When I was taking a student their lunch box after school a group of students started talking to me. If the midst of it all one of the other third grade students runs up to me, gives a big hug, and says "What's up Ms. Honey?" All the other kids wanted to know who Ms. Honey was. He proceeds to say, "My girlfriend. How ya doing Honey?" I wish I could pretend that I held it together, but I didn't. I laughed, which only encourages the behavior, and then went into my room. I know that my life is getting sad when I no longer have good comebacks for students that are eights and nine years old. Or that pedophilia is my only current prospect for a man piece.
Tomorrow we have a parade which still involves collecting candy. We shall see how many kids kill each other. I think I can already feel the tension rising. If they only knew someday they will have to work even harder if they want to relieve themselves of that Snickers!
