Today I got a lot done at work, including a surprise party for a little girl who is moving. I acted like she was in trouble to get her to come into my room, and the kids all jumped out and yelled, "Surprise!" It was really fun. I had given a fourth grade mom without a job $20 to go get us two pizzas from Little Caesers for the party, figuring she'd bring me back about $8 in change. She didn't have time, I guess, so she went to Papa Johns, which cost $23, and she ate the cost. Some people are so generous, and I'm so thankful! I'm learning everyday that when I ask people to help my kids, most really go above and beyond the call of duty.
My classroom is nearly all packed up, and the walls are bare. I paid a fifth grader in candy bars to go up and down the ladder to pull off all the weird little things I'd put up through the year. The big job tomorrow is moving the fish tank. I may actually move it. I have two week feeding blocks. Surely I can remember to go in every other week. I'll want to know when I can start setting up my new classroom anyhow. I tried to do a decent packing j0b, buts it all ended up mixed together. Always something exciting in the world of education!
