hey sorors and sisterfriends, please allow me to vent for a minute or two:
today at work i had three of my third graders to start up their weekly routine at the same time today!!
student #1: "May Jon Doe help me with my work?"
Me: "no, sweetie, come up here and i will work with u"
Student#1: ignores me, goes to his seat, and begins to whistle loudly just to disrupt the class.
Student #2: "I don't have any paper."
me: "So what would u like me to do about it?" (in my sweet angelic voice)
Student #2: mumbles under her breath and sits in her seat with a dumb look on her face.
me: "u know what to do if u need paper. are u going to choose to get a zero for today?"
studetn #2: mumbles and rolls her eyes and continues to sit with the dumb look on her face
Student #3: "i don't have no paper"
me: did you look in your desk?
Student #3: "no"
me: (just shaking my head) "look in your desk for your paper so you can do your work.
Student #3: "i don't have to listen to you!" and student throws books and paper on the floor.
me: "remember that when u have to use the bathroom!"
i really had a rough day. i had to count to 10 over and over again just to stay calm. they really tried me.
but tomorrow is another day and i know it is going to be a better day.
pray for me sorors because this is really a rough year and these are just 3rd graders!
