And, surprise surprise, my top five faves all involve my friends. Through many of my older posts, I relive what it was like to be in my classroom, which is something I like to do often because I miss my little friends. So indulge me for a moment. Swallow your coffee/water/adult beverage now, people, because I would hate for you to spit it out all over your screen as the hilarity of these posts unfolds. I'm only thinking of you.
And in no particular order:
Moment #1: Ah, The Great Cockroach Chase of 2007. This post reminds me of my lovely naughty boys, the insanity that can spring up at any second in a classroom and the vermin....all the vermin. *shudder* Note: I miss the kids, not the cockroaches.
Moment #2: Whoops! I had to include one about my beloved Curly. HAD TO. Just thinking about this sweaty little boy makes me smile...although I'm still wondering why he was always sweating just a little? Maybe from all that fabulousness.
Moment #3: I Guess I'm the Mama Bear - I used to get crazy protective about my friends. CRAZY. I mean, sure, I could
Moment #4: Does picture day literally strike fear in your heart? Are you haunted by memories of disorganization past? Or am I alone on this one? It's Picture Day - And That's Nothing To Smile About
Moment #5: Some you asked me to write about moments in the classroom that went horribly wrong. Now, I know I think I'm pretty hot stuff, but DUDE, I'd be insane to act like nothing ever went wrong. You want moments gone wrong? Well here you go - Why Bill Nye the Science Guy and I Will Never Be Friends.
Okay. Now go enjoy the crap out of your weekends. You deserve it.

I was sitting at home with my broken foot up...feeling sorry for myself and thinking about the next 4 (or possibly 8) more weeks of being unable to drive, walk, work my regular schedule (It's already been 5 weeks! I can't believe I was so stupid/impulsive/careless or whatever to do this to myself!).
Lucky for me...I read all of the posts you listed. I didn't spit any liquid all over my computer, but I did laugh out loud over and over again.
Thank you a dozen times! I needed that :)
In honor of your fantastic success in posting everyday, I have an award for you!

Loved the Mama Bear story. I totally feel that way. I am stern when I need to be but always loving too. I can't stand it when people who don't even know my students reprimand them or act too strict, especially if there is no modeling or instruction. I just had a run-in with a cluster teacher who yelled at one of my really good girls for daring to ask to go to the bathroom during HIS period. Poor thing had a urinary tract infection that I had forgotten to mention at the beginning of the period. I set him straight. I prohibit the bathroom all the time, but only when I KNOW my students are lying or if they already peed all over the wall on purpose in there earlier in the day and I threatened to call their parents to bring in diapers (you know what I'm talking about). Yeah, I'm a Mama Bear too.
