Back Again
I will save you the sob story. All that is important is to note that internet is "up" again... and that the blogging will resume.
This is my 10th year of teaching - and I started the year meaner than ever... and it has paid off! This class is so well behaved. Of course, there are still naughty things that try to go on, but, in general these little ones delight me.
The other day I wasn't feeling well. So, I took the lazy teacher approach and gave them a list of assignments and projects (one including coloring with markers, a rare treat) and set them loose for an hour. They worked silently - yes silently - for 50 minutes. So, I let them talk for the last 10 minutes... and they continued to be silent. It really surprised and blessed me. Wow!
