Monday

I can't believe I am starting my 5th week with my students! Time is flying by so quickly!

Another exciting Monday for this girl! Kids were awesome today for the most part. Unfortunately, three students in my class are sick and missed school today. Poor babies! There was only one slight hiccup to report today.

After lunch one of my students told me that another student said she was going to murder everyone. My kids are super sweet so I was shocked that something like that had even been said. I really wasn't sure how to handle the situation but the girl that was accused of saying she was going to murder everyone was balling her eyes out telling me over and over that she didn't say it. I talked to Kristen to figure out what to do and she said to call the office. The office had me send my student down to talk to the principal. I had to send several more students down to talk to her to get the full story. In the end, it was like a game of telephone. My student never actually said that, but people heard that she said it from other students and rumors were spread. The principal came in and explained the situation to my class and viola, everything was back to normal- thank goodness!

Kristen and I are doing a fun valentine activity that we found on Pinterest! I am excited to try it next week! I am a little nervous about it because it involves finger paint and blowing paint out of a straw, but if it turns out crazy, you can't say we didn't try something new!

My parents haven't been doing a swell job of coming and helping after they signed up and I have a lot of prep to get done this week, so I sent a note home to parents to remind them of their days. Hopefully they remember to come. There is one mom in my class that is totally amazing! This morning she walked in and said that if I need her to help to just shoot her an email or let her know before school. Thank goodness for her! =)
