I actually wanted to cry today; they had me so frustrated by the end of the day. We're only 7 weeks in. But that's part of the problem. By now they should know the routine. Things don't change randomly in my classroom.

Right now I just don't know what I'm going to do. So much of my structure and student engagement is built around teams of four. But I have 5 kids who cannot be with anyone else. And they certainly can't be their own team. One girl is suppose to be in third grade. She came from another school in our district and was allowed to move from K to first grade in Oct. of her K year. It's painfully obvious how immature she is and she hasn't mastered third grade material. Parents of course did not come to Back to School Night and are limited English speakers.

Yippee, my honey is home.
