Is this happening to other people or just me? I've started getting spam comments. I'm not really sure why since I'm pretty sure NOBODY reads my blog. I do find it entertaining to read the broken English though. Check out the latest one in the comments section of my last post. Haha
I have a quart of these in my fridge at school.
This week I have been eating them everyday at morning recess. Why? No reason really...other than the fact that I behave like a 95 year old woman. I think they're tasty, but they cause fits of running to the bathroom around 12:00 (which I'm sure my coworkers enjoy as much as I do). Does that stop me? Oh, no it does not.
I had 5 students shove paper towels down the toilet today...simultaneously. All while screaming and laughing. Here are a few of the rules that were broken:
1. Only one person in the bathroom at a time...not 5.
2. The bathroom is not a place to play....or scream. Sometimes it's a place to sing and I'm ok with that. In fact it makes me laugh while they're at recess and someone is using the bathroom and singing at the top of their lungs while they do their business.
3. Nothing goes in the toilet except waste and toilet paper.
I asked what would make them do this and they said there was no trash can. Don't worry that my classroom has two trashcans of its own and the other bathroom (3 feet away) had a trashcan. Well, as a tracked down the missing trashcan from the after school program that stole it, I came up with what I think to be the perfect punishment for these kids.
First, we talked about our school custodian and how unfair it would be to have him retrieve the paper towels. Then I threw in that it wouldn't be very fair for myself or my aid to have to get them either (gotta look out for number one). Soooo....I had them put on some of these....
and get their own paper towels....out of the toilet. Yep, I'm that kind of teacher.
Halloween is approaching and I'm trying to figure out what to be. I have some stipulations.
1. Cheap-I don't have a lot of money to spend on just one day...unless that one day includes Adriel taking me out on an outrageously expensive date that includes getting banana spring rolls from PF Changs at the end of the night...hint, hint.
2. Unencumbering-I'm no longer willing to wear a wig or use face paint (which is how I define encumbering)
3. Child friendly-I do have to parade around the school (with my class) in front of all the parents, so if you're thinking of telling me to be a "nurse," think again. I'm talking to you, Mom. After all, you did call me a slut last week...
There, those are pretty good guidelines I think.
