Phone a Friend

Today was one of those Friday's that sort of sucks you in, chews you up, and spits you out! 

While the children behaved fairly well in Mass the day progressed badly form there.  My students in Art were less than enthusiastic and prepared for class.  I am well aware that not everyone is good at art.  I am also aware that the beauty of the subject of art is that there are so many different aspects to it.  Not everyone will like them all.(actually very few if any ever will)   However, I believe that everyone will like and enjoy some areas if they are "cool" enough to apply themselves. 

Attitude is everything and unfortunately it is contagious.  So one students bad attitude spread to others, spread to me, and spread to the other classes.  It was not good and very little was accomplished.  On the up side I had lots of company during recess!

Now it is not all the students fault.  It is a beautiful day out and they knew it.  to say that Spring fever has set in would be an under statement.  The students were also watching a movie this afternoon.  Price of admission was an item for the Children's Hospital.  Good cause, but disruptive to work getting done.

By the time I left school the little ones were not listening with out serious corner time being served.  There were no special lunch treats, and I was lucky to have any hair left on my head.  So today I am thankful for cell phones and the ability to phone a friend.  I chose my best one, my husband.  I just told him how it was and by the end of the conversation I was calm and feeling better.

Here's to a new day tomorrow that will not necessitate a "phone-a-friend" and supermom, just being Super.
