The word SILLY...

Our cooperating teacher uses the word silly SO much. It seems like it is her best adjective to describe her students. Describing her students at times with the word silly at times when I would really like to use words such as; stupid, disrespectful, immature, little tyrants... and the list goes on and on, depending on the day of course. And she seems to always say, "their good kids aren't they.." Every time she says, "they are so silly" or "their good kids aren't they" it makes me laugh so stinkin hard inside. Cause in my head I am not hearing silly, or good kids I hear the other words that could perhaps replace them. So for the rest of my life I am going to be scarred with the word silly, and always think of it in a negative connotation!

On a lighter note, I have absolutely LOVED my "silly" 6th graders. They are the most rambunctious 12 year olds I have ever met! I think that I needed to get a class that was full of students that have behavioral problems and loud mouths and disrespectful words to say. I needed them because I think I can say now more then ever that I am so excited to be a teacher, if anyone really didn't want to be a teacher they would know at the end of the three weeks with my class.

To finish up our week we taught our last lesson on Monday and gave our assessment today. Audra and I were betting how many groans and complaints we would get when we said the word test, we got lots of them. So Audra did a cute thing with them she told them for the next 5 seconds we are going to get all of our groans and complaints out. So for the next 5 seconds our class groaned and laughed. It worked perfectly and I think it worked well!

So to say the least about all of our up coming assignments that are going to be due lets groan and complain for the next 5 seconds! Ready? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :) just teasing, but it is getting to the time in the semester when you can almost taste summer, but it's just not quite here yet! Good luck to everyone and see you on Monday!
