Full Moon!

Oh my...what a day!  My little friends were crazy today...what is up with that?!?  I'll blame it on the full moon that I heard was going to be happening...have to blame it on something you know.  Even my most quietest sedate kids were wound so tight -- totally needed to find the HUGE box of Calgon tonight!  I felt like I was talking today and no one was listening!  I love it when my friends have their own agenda as to what we are going to get accomplished during the day.

Whatever happened to doing what your teacher told you to do?  Respect?  Being polite? Authority?  Oy...it all went out the door today.  I literally was ready to throw my hands up in disgust, but I know better then to let a group of 5 and 6 year olds win the battle. 

What a class I have this year!  They amaze me, confuse me, fascinate me, and basically just keep me enthralled.  This is why I went into teaching.... to be challenged, to be pushed, to make a difference.  Well today I was challenged, I was pushed, but did I make a difference?  I hope I did in some small way, somehow, though I'm not sure....
