Names Have Been Changed...

...to protect the not-so-innocent.

  • (Mrs. March is on duty at afternoon recess. Two 7 year-old girls approach.)
  • Sally: Mrs. March, Joe hit meeeeee.
  • Mrs. March: Tell Joe to come talk to me.
  • (Joe approaches with scowl and head down.)
  • Mrs. March: Did you hit Sally?
  • Joe: (mumble) Yes.
  • Mrs. March: Why did you hit Sally?
  • (enormous pause with Joe wearing a "thinking look.")
  • Mrs. March: Why did you hit Sally?
  • Joe: ummmm... She had a plan to hit me.

I have a plan to give my recess duty to my student teacher...

Too Cool For School

I survived my first day of teaching a 1-2 blend. Just 171.5 days to go!
