Darlin' I feel your pain. I have a really great group of kids but just told my partner how I feel like I'm slowly losing control over my class. I don't know what's going on…but so many of them are just naughty and silly and didn't used to be.
Hang in there! Do you get a February break?
We get a week of in Feb…can't wait!!!!

We only had a week and some change off for Christmas and do not get out until mid-June….
So, you'll be sitting pretty at the end of May and I'll be pulling my hair out!!!!

Hang in there or try some bribery! =) It has rained ALL day in my part of Texas but we might need to have a swimming recess or playing in the parking lot tomorrow! =)
Holly, that is a truly a thing I would {HEART}!
Ritas and Chuy's sounds good to me!
I am thinking next time I bring my blender to school(see current post with *freebie*) we might need something other than smoothies! =)

First Grade is Fantabulous!
It is a very hard week! We had PD today. Who does that? Yes I got a lot done, but honestly, I don't want to go back tomorrow and teach!
My week has been bad too!!! Thank goodness it was 100th Day today … I told them yesterday that if they called anyone a name today or decided to be crazy during 100th Day, that we would do tons of fun 100th Day things and they could just sit and watch us.
It worked… sadly, 101st Day doesn't quite have the same magnitude….

Marvelous Multiagers!
So glad it isn't just me!! What IS the deal?
A week in February? Is that like your spring break Holly? We do get a Spring break…but not until April.
Headin' to your store right now Reagan! Thanks!
I hope your week improves.
