Making up a title is the hardest thing about blogging.

It snowed this week!  Nothing compared to what happened in Dallas, but for about an hour it snowed.  Nothing stuck, but it was still fun.


This week was a nice quiet week. I don’t’ know if I have told ya’ll or not but Frank is officially out of my class, for real this time. I know I told you he was out for a day, and then got back in. But two weeks ago two parents called and complained that he was making inappropriate comments to girls in my class, and so they moved him to Coach Shipmans! I emailed Shipman and said here are his grades, here is the name and number of his father, the name and number of his behavior specialist, good luck. Haha. Shipman said he put him in his place the first day and has been doing pretty well in there. Seventh period has been great now especially because this whole last week another student who means well but is just loud in general was out showing at the rodeo.

This morning had had to take the PPR test, the last test to make me completely certified. PPR stands for Pedagogy and Professional Responsibility, basically they give you scenarios and you have to pick what to do in an idea world (not necessarily real world). Cody signed up to take it with me, so I picked her up at 7 am (ughhhh) and we made it to the testing site at 7:30 so we could take it at 8. It only took about an hour and a half and then I came back and took a two hour nap. Afterwards we washed my car, it was getting SO dirty. Rusty got a bath as well, so he is all nice and clean, smells good, and soft. I vacuumed the whole house (it had definitely been while because I filled up the entire canister-gross). Then I dusted our bedroom, and the living room. I’m calling Rusty, dusty Rusty from now on. Tomorrow I will tackle the kitchen and bathrooms.

Before I can clean the kitchen I am going to make my 5th period cupcakes. Somehow they have talked me into it (or perhaps asking everyday and complaining all the time that they are hungry, and I just want them to be quiet-lol). But they are good kids who turn stuff in so I guess they are worth it. This week should be a pretty easy one, we have a test on Tuesday over the Russian and Chinese revolutions (ya’ll all remember that right?!?! It’s where they turn communist). So we are reviewing on Monday, which we started doing that on Friday with a fun game, that went over well so that was fun. And then Wednesday is the ELA TAKS test, so I will be administrating that (not as fun) and then they will stay in their TAKS rooms all day. So then it’s really just a short two day week!

Our snow!
