Me: "If you guys were nicer to each other then I wouldn't have to be in a bad mood."
Tigger: "Ms. Geer, You aren't always in a bad mood."

Over Honesty
Is there such a thing? I had two things happen this week that I thought were way worth sharing.
1. I've been having to get onto to my Pooh Bear a lot recently for his not so appropriate school language. Many times I've heard him slip with a yell of "What the h*!" I've addressed it several times, and the last time before Wednesday I told him this is your last chance or I'm writing in your agenda and telling Mom. Well Wednesday morning he yelled out a good "What the h*!" and I told him very calmly Pooh Bear, please bring me your agenda. He immediately brought me his agenda and just lost it. Big puppy dog tears all morning until I took them to specials. So I wrote in the agenda telling mom that I had warned Pooh several times about using school appropriate language and today once again he yelled out "What the h*" in my room and if she could please talk to him about it. Well, Thursday morning Mom had written me a note back that said thank you for letting me know, that she had talked to him and if when he finished his letter if I would sign it and return it. Well below is the letter, before I signed and returned it, I had to take a picture. Too funny!
2. The other story happened on Thursday as well. In one of my math classes a little guy named GG sits at my table with me so I can better keep him on task. On this day, the class was taking a short quiz from the promethean board on rounding and adding decimals. GG tells me immediately that this is too hard, and is struggling significantly in completing it. Meanwhile I make a key myself and am grading the other students quizzes as they finish. At the very end of the class I get to GG's and I notice that he got all of them right but had no work to show for it. I look at him and ask "GG did you look at my answers?" He responds with in a sad depressed sigh: "It was so hard!" And then says quite sincerely: "Next time I think you better hide your answers." I couldn't even hardly get on to him for being so honest. He is too darn cute! Wish I could show you a picture of him!

Mario and Waldo
Candy Cane and Old Lady are the names I heard on character dress up day. Who knew kids didn't know who Where's Waldo was anymore?!? And there wasn't even a Where's Waldo book in the whole school. Pitiful! It was still fun though, but my favorite of the day was definitely my Mario. Isn't he precious? :)
( I know he looks kinda funny in the face, but I'm not supposed to put pictures of kids up here so figured if he's blurred you can't really tell who it is anyway.)
