Thoughts

Today is Thursday and thank goodness tomorrow is Friday! I cannot wait until 3:15 tomorrow afternoon, because that means the weekend is here! yay!

Just as an update on my class... I now have 28 students. I have gotten three new students in the last four weeks. I got the third one yesterday. Getting new students is really a pain. The first two times they were walked to my room during the middle of lessons. And, did I have desks for them? No.... I have to get desks, put them in the gradebook, explain my discipline plan, catch them up.... and the list goes on!!

With all that said, I do have a pretty good class.

Jake started basketball yesterday. He is doing tryouts this week. He is the head 7th grade B team coach! Wow what a title!

Oh, some people have asked if I get more things being a teacher in Texas. Like in Oklahoma if a teacher needs something for her class, she buys it with her own money. Down here, I just ask! The other day I asked for 30 three ring binders... "Sure, no problem," my principal replied. I asked for 3 spiral notebooks and four folders per kid... got them! I have four student computers and one pretty new Mac teacher computer in my room. I have a video projector to show movies and powerpoints on.... This aspect of Texas I will miss. The teaching....I won't!
