No Praying in Schools

We were playing a game the other day, and one of my students put his hands together up above his head, pulled them down (in a praying position), and was muttering something to himself. He REALLY wanted to win the game! So much, that it turned him into a prayin' man!

Countries and Trees

One of my students was sharing about herself since she was Student of the Week, and another student (unless my hearing is bad) asked, "What's your favorite country?" She asked him to repeat himself and he did. And then, she said, "Kind of tree? Probably apple!" And not one of them questioned it or laughed... But I did (inside)!

Back to School

We have been back to school this whole week! It's crazy since most of the other schools around here don't start til Monday. All I can say is that this year is going to be a whole new challenge! Every school has a grade where they just don't know where to put the naughty kids because there are too many to split them completely up! So, they put a "most naughty" in each class and then fill the class with equal or lesser naughties! Let me tell you, this week has been crazy! I have some really good kids... but I have a few really bad kids. So, this school year will either make me retire, or it will build character (as my old man puts it), or BOTH....
