Lots of ups and downs this past week. More downs than ups, actually, and the major up was that a bunch of my kids cut class on Friday, mostly kids who normally stir up behavior problems, and then Friday was a relatively calm day. But cutting class en masse is hardly something to celebrate.
Anyway, one highlight of the week was my second period artists, the ones who draw cute pictures for me on the backs of their quizzes. One girl was trying to get me to tell her my favorite kind of cupcake during the quiz (NO TALKING, ya know?) but I wouldn't talk to her and she got frustrated so I thought she drew me an angry picture. Turns out she drew me a "magic cupcake," complete with a little note about how it is magic and will be any flavor I wish for.
Unfortunately I handed the quiz back without even photocopying the picture, which is a shame because I ought to make a folder of kid things that make me smile so I have something on reserve for the days when I really want to quit. Maybe I can get her to give it back.
