Unfortunately we are open enrollment for some reason and we can't do a thing about it. We are SO overcrowded! It's insane (I'm at a middle school).<br /><br />So I have a bathroom story as well. This girl in 5th period today was doing the pee-pee dance BIG time in my class today. She wouldn't ask to go because she had already gone TWICE this week and I had warned her she was out of turns, and needed to plan her day better. She was so dramatic. She even pulled at her hair. HA. I finally called her out on it and told her all the drama in the world wasn't getting her to the bathroom, so she stopped. <br /><br />I like that the name Bathroom Chicken though :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121952906154243786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-20904740585254507882009-08-28T19:13:56.548-05:002009-08-28T19:13:56.548-05:00Ah, the bathroom emergency.

I had the varsity football coach come in for fifteen minutes to lecture them on fart etiquette.Lightly Seasonedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13685215056988904350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-30523582572294514052009-08-28T17:48:12.564-05:002009-08-28T17:48:12.564-05:00aw man that really sucks. It sounds like it's ...aw man that really sucks. It sounds like it's been a rough week. There are some things I miss about Texas, but I will say that in Washington there are no unpaid positions like that...the union gets quite angry and makes sure you get compensated. I am not a total fan of unions, but I will say that there are some positive things they do that I never saw happen in Texas. <br /><br />Good luck next week.....Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05468422056345875269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-81997542039221618952009-08-28T14:42:48.430-05:002009-08-28T14:42:48.430-05:00Love your blog!

It sounds like you are in a tough school, but I'm sure that makes it even more fulfilling. <br />As for the bathroom thing, we did planned trips too, but for those students who still had to go all the time, I gave them 3 passes for the day (not including the 3 class trips). Once the passes were used up, that was it. It made them really decide whether they had to go or not.<br />Also, did a similar thing with the nurse. If you went to the nurse before lunch because you were "sick" that meant you did indoor recess that day. That also really cut down on the kids leaving the room for no reason. <br />Although I did have one girl decide not to go, then vomit all over the place. Guess we should have had a talk about decision making!Moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296210447355675397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-12873147589073371512009-08-28T03:55:23.816-05:002009-08-28T03:55:23.816-05:00I really wish I could give you a "Witty"...I really wish I could give you a "Witty" comment! School doesn't even start for me until after Labor Day and things are already Not starting off great!! I went in to grab something and noticed my furniture wasn't right.<br />(1) The desks are stuck to the floor because they were put back on the wax too soon.<br />(2) Because the desks are stuck one of the kindergarten tables broke a leg when two teenagers tried to help the teacher get the table unstuck so that you could walk round the room instead of all the tables together so that no one can sit at them<br />(3) Many pieces of furniture were placed in the wrong rooms even though labelled (someone took the labels off)<br />(4) After searching for the table I use to teach reading it's in the kindergarten room covered by a tablecloth with her computers on top. She says I can have it back when the table leg ordered comes in. (Mind you she only has 15 children and the computers could go on empty desks I see someone has put in the hallway)<br />(5) The million pound tv that belongs on top of the cubby is on the floor. The shelves that belong on the floor are on top of the cubby (full)<br />(6) The file cabinet (full) was moved so that the rug (not cleaned, but rolled up) can't be put back down in it's proper place<br />(7) It took me 20 minutes to locate my garbage pail and recycle bin, not a big deal but time consuming<br /><br />Oh and not school related but I tonight I brought my mother home from 7 days in the hospital with pneumonia and it's 4:30 AM and I haven't been to my own bed yet which could be why everything above is annoying me! <br /><br />I know, not witty!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806721760411875330noreply@blogger.com
