I did the same. My brain is borked today.

It takes a special kind of asshole to target dogs.

That is why I tell my students that you need to ask what you can do to make the other person feel better. Sorry isn’t going to cut it. It has become a reflex rather than a true attempt at writing a wrong.

Do you have his album? Sublime!

Mr. Chickens and I both got food poisoning on our honeymoon. We suffered through three days of agony, and realized that we really were great together.

At least half the class! Their parents are children of the 80s, so they have carried that on with their kids. It is so great!

Wow! What beautiful words! Believe me that I will carry them with me on even the most difficult days! It is hard to find that balance today between the sense of wonder and the need for academics. This is a lovely reminder that that balance is SO necessary!

All the amazing comments from people about my story are making the onion slicing ninjas appear!

aw shucks!

I let 2 students sign up to share something on Fridays. Sometimes we have sign ups and sometimes not. It is a great way to build classroom community, share news, and learn new things.

Thanks! I had the opposite- my 4th grade teacher was the worst. My goal is to not be like her. I think I am succeding so far!

Thank you!

I teach 4th grade, and one of my kiddos asked if he could do sharing on Friday. He brought in his iPad and started to talk about his favorite singer who had recently died. He played “Let’s Dance” for the class and shared pictures that he found on the internet. It was the sweetest thing ever! Most of the class had no…

We had a field trip to Guide Dogs for the Blind today where we met many puppies. I can indeed confirm that puppies are cute.

I went to a game up in Laramie when I was in college. The atmosphere was pretty tense, and the fans were super aggressive. It was really uncomfortable. Not one thing in particular, but just many little things that were jarring.

I’ve been to many Utah/BYU games (two of them in Provo) and you are correct. The BYU fans are pretty shitty. I would also say that Wyoming and New Mexico fans are pretty scary as well. I was pleased as punch that Utes got far out of the WAC to the MWC, and finally to the Pac 12.

I had the same reaction, and I am SO glad that I am not the only one. The commercials are now making me angry enough to yell at the tv every time they are on!

Not yet, but I will add that to the must try list!

Same!m it is perfect for us. My husband works in Sausalito and I'm up in Novato. SR is middle ground!

Just a lot of bratty rich kids who made my life miserable! I’m up in San Rafael now, and I love it! I do miss Servinos!
