Hey Ya'll!
I am off track til the 5th of January! Nice break huh. Can't beat all the vacation time a teacher gets. It makes up for all the hard work it is to be a teacher. Kids just aren't respectful like we were. It is really scary how parents aren't parenting their kids right. I had a kid sarcastically talk back to me a few days before we went off track. This is a kicker! My kids were in groups doing a skit on one of the chapters they read in a book about the Japanese Internment camps during WW11. Time was running out so I just announced to the groups time keepers to check the time. I said, "What time is it?" The time keepers looked up and then I hear from the back of the room, " It's time for you to get a watch and quit asking questions!" Imagine that! I kid said that out loud to me. I was pissed! I was shocked that a kid would say that to a teacher. He got in trouble from me. I called his mom, and she says, " Just so you know, we talk like that at home." I told her that I didn't care that he talks like that at home, but it is not appropriate at school! I wanted to give the kid some "SLAPS!" lol.
So as you can see, I was very excited to get away from the kids.
On to the fun stuff...
I have been santa claus and shopping for my families gifts. I decorated my little tree. I don't have a big tree because I live in an apartment with my sister Mel. I will get a big tree when I get a house....Some day!lol.
My sister Cyndi is coming to Utah to spend the Holidays. I am very excited. I hope to get to the slopes this winter. I really want to learn how to ski or snowboard! I also can't wait til I go sledding. I love to slide down things. LOL. WHO KNEW.
I hope everyone has a great and fun filled Holiday season!
