Guest student slicer - Brennan

Has anybody ever had a day where you
Wake up
Look around your room and think I am tired?

But you know you need to.
So then you get up,
Walk around
And it feels like your legs just stop working?
Those days I always have those days
And I never will like them.

March 31, 2011 Celebrate!

Writing isn't always easy for me either.  I have to dig deep for ideas. Sometimes it is about myself, my family, my pets (even though I have none at the moment- I can write about the ones I have had), my hobbies, my children or grandchildren.  I have to stop and think about what I am going to write about. Today I was so excited to see the class and the students in my 6th grade Language Arts class.  They bring excitement and life to class.  I look at them and see potential for the future.  They care about each other. Oh, that doesn't mean that they are always nice to each other, but they act like siblings and they at least respect each other most of the time. They aren't rude and nasty. I appr...
