It was a pretty good day!
Teaching:
My prep got changed without my knowing it so I was a little off kilter as I didn’t know what I was going to do this morning.
We got through a phonics lesson on short a, and another lesson on big problems versus small problems.
I started on the parent teacher conferences I have to do by phone this week. It was very enlightening when one of the parents told me that he son is being hit by another little boy and she got told by another parent. I can’t believe nobody told the teacher!

I did a workout run with Dennis. We warmed up and then did 90 seconds hard, 60 seconds easy, 60 seconds hard, 30 seconds easy, 30 seconds hard, 90 seconds easy and we did it 5 times through.

You know a lot of trivia! I also can’t believe no one told the teacher – hopefully they will communicate better with you on things like that going forward!
Ugh and we’ve been doing all these lessons on big problems and small problems!
Someone should have told you immediately. I’ve read that bullying has been common through the years. I was NEVER aware of it when I was in school.
They should have told me but I don’t think this is bullying. This is just Avery exuberant and energetic little boy who has a lack of control. I have the feeling this is rag run amok
I hope it is just a lack of control. I’d trust your instincts.
It was his way of getting the first boy not to pull branches off the trees. We talked about using our words
You could lecture the whole world!
Yup!
Sounds like it is time for a chat with that little boy and find out what is going on and where. As well as be able to talk to the child who reported it in the first place.
First thing on the to do list today!
I am actually responding to the most current post. I didn’t like having our kids at our school conferences, but it was the only way our district did it. Luckily, my kids were pretty well behaved and good students. Parents and conferences used to really stress my son, the teacher out. The Private school parents were difficult to persuade that their darlings might be causing disruptions. His current teaching job with Chinese children, …..I’m not sure how it works. The are paying to be tutored and their parents are usually in the room with the child while he teaches…..
It’s just that I put things very differently when a child is in the room than when they aren’t. Thankfully most of these parents were open to the one suggestion I allowed myself to make for what they should work on at home. Hopefully the ones today will go just as well.
Well I knew Ralph Furley and I was pretty sure about Prez #16 Abe Lincoln. The rest … not so much.
