This is my wonderful classroom! I love walking into this room everyday. It's so bright and happy. During the week I see about 500 different students. It's hard to get to know all of them so I just try to make connections with them and love on them one at a time. This week in my small group we talked about how we respond to people who insult us or speak harshly to us. I immediately thought about my students. I do not always respond with love when my students roll their eyes and smack their lips at me. Often I respond with sarcasm (which they don't understand) so I'm trying this week to not respond out of my offended emotions...yes kids can offend you...but instead out of humility and love.
Funny story for the week...I have this particularly hard to deal with 7th grade boy. He was pretty quiet for the beginning of class today so I thought I might get away without a scene from him. Oh no. I don't know what brought this on, but at a moment when everyone was silent he blurted out very loudly for the 29 other immature 7th graders to hear, "You have deformed boobies!" I don't know who he was talking to or what he was talking about so I just pointed to the door and gave him the look. He spend the rest of class outside in the hall. I couldn't stay mad. That's just too funny!
