It has been a while and I have been busy. Who knew student teaching would be so much work. One night this week I was up until midnight grading papers and still had to grade some in the morning. But that is because I have 160 students and asked them for complete sentences.
It is odd what 7th graders think and how they explain things. For example, reproduction: all living things must reproduct. Huh? really?
We are working on bullying awareness and it is upsetting that most of my students don't know the difference between harmless teasing and mean-spirited bullying. Even those students who get bullied don't seem to know the difference.. UGH.. calling an overweight person SLIM is NOT right. Also calling a tall person SHORTY is not right..
This weekend will be filled with a lot of work. I have to get a lot of my unit finished while B is working..

I don't understand where all this bullying came from. It's just amazing what kids have to deal with these days that we didn't really have to worry about. I dunno it's just weird... hope to see you soon! Much love!
