found this little ditty off of russel brand’s twitter…i need to get this cd!
my very last class of the day was kindergarten. for the elementary students i choose an MVP at the end of the class period for the student who behaved really well during those 30 mins. they get a star sticker and a little piece of green paper that is a “continental bill”. usually, i just find a name of a student who hasn’t received one yet for the term…today, during the kindergarten class i called out the name of an adorable smaller than average kindergartener who had actually behaved admirably during the half hour. it took her a moment to realize i had called her name…she responded with eyes widening,mouth dropping open and her little hands up by her face in surprise and says “ME?! i’ve never gotten one before! i wishded this would happen!” she was ecstatic while choosing her sticker and when i gave her the bill she treated it the way an adult would treat a million dollar check. she kept saying “thank you” in such a gracious tone. even while i was leaving the school i passed by her and told her congratulations one more time (since i noticed she was still holding the bill in her hands like it would disappear if she let it go) and she just looked so happy as she said thank you! for how exhausting a day like today was…it’s moments like THAT that make everything completely worth it.
school lunch is legit! a slice of REAL pizza, a cup of pears, carrots, and some cheesy roll stuff i can put in tomato sauce…for $2.60. take THAT food pyramid!
one more hour of teaching and i can go home and sleep…or do homework. i’ve already had 2 kids cry and i have 2 classes left. anyone else?
i caved (i actually lost a bet) and set up a twitter account. i love hashtagging everything. i think i’ll add hashtags to my everyday conversation. #hashtagsmakemelegit
dear married women who post on facebook about how your husbands are the greatest,
please stop. i’m terribly sorry to tell you that your hubby isn’t the best. there’s another one out in the world at that same moment doing something better for their wives than merely existing. what we see when we read about how he went to 50 different stores to buy your lazy A your favorite ice cream is that he has no backbone and you can’t do anything by yourself. why don’t you just praise him to his face instead of bragging about it on a social networking site? i’m sure he’d appreciate that immensely as would we, your 300 friends who don’t even know him…or care. don’t tell me how “in love with him” you are…wrong platform.
sincerely,
my relationship will never go on facebook.
i’m gonna be in bed by 10:05…what a great time to be alive!
story of the day (as related to me by my cooperating teacher). so, the teacher i work with/for used to work for a residential school that housed troubled teens. apparently she was telling her sister why these girls had to be in this place. she said that these 12-13 year olds were doing drugs, drinking, and sleeping around. her little elementary aged nephew overheard and said “i wouldn’t mind sleeping around!”. he thought they were talking about sleepovers. the innocence of these kids…that’s why i love my job so much!
