Ketchup
1. Teaching Observation-went very well
2. Teacher's Convention at Ocean City-Vincent LOVED the rides; had a great time
3. Stomach Ulcers-drinking Barium sucks
4. Doodlebops Show in Richmond-Vin tried to rush the stage
5. Emergency Room Visit-Vin's elbow was dislocated
And now, we are up-to-date. My computer in my classroom/trailer has been broken since my last post, so it's difficult to check in now. But here's a quick antedote about today, the Last Day of American Education Week:
Grade Four. Making sculptures. A student and her two parents arrive late. I rush to catch her up. Kids are behaving like they normally do: one is in another's face and the other pushes the chair down in a "you're-gonna-get-f'ed-in-the-a" sort of way. A fight is about to ensue. And through it all, I look over toward where the parents are sitting with their student, and the father is writing on my chalkboard. Not only is he doing this, but he is spelling the word QUIET wrong.
I'm so glad it's Friday.
