Five classroom days to go!!!!

Well, I didn't write anyone up today, so that was a good thing.  However, I did have a drama queen incident.  You remember my favorite class, right?  That lovely sixth period class that got a test today.  Well, Fred 2, was sitting behind a girl (it's never a good idea to let him sit behind girls) and he was pulling her hair back into a ponytail.  She was trying to get her hair out of his hands.  I needed to space them out for the test, so I just asked him to move to another desk away from everyone.  He wouldn't move.  I also picked out a couple more students to move so they wouldn't be all huddled together during the test.  He finally moved, but then started talking and moving around.  He kept going on and on about being moved.  I finally sent him to the hallway so the others could start their test.  When I got out in the hallway, I sent him across the hall to complete his test.  I then returned to my class and got them started.  A few minutes later, he starts pounding on my door, scaring everyone.  I open the door and he shoves his test at me.  He didn't answer any of the questions.  I called his mom (remember, she's on speed dial now) and told her the situation.  She spoke with him and then he returned to the room across the hall.

Another interesting incident:  I had a couple of students, Freds 9 and 10, who I had to report today.  Fred 9 kicked a bunch of desks over in class today.  I took him to the hallway to find out why and he said that Fred 10 made him mad.  He was sick of her trying to give him drugs.  I asked if she was trying to give him drugs in class and he said she told him she had something in her purse that would calm him down.  I immediately told the principal. We'll see tomorrow if anything came of it.  I'm guessing the only thing that will happen is that Fred 9 will be mad at me for getting him in trouble with Fred 10.

Tomorrow is Friday.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Next week we only have four days of classes, then our field day next Friday.  The following week is finals, then a week of packing and turning in all our stuff.  I did hear today that this county is cutting $225,000 from the budget, so still looking for work for next year.  Say a prayer for me!
