It’s late.
My basketball picks aren’t done.
My computer is at 11%.
My green tea with honey was yummy.
We have 10 eggs in the incubator. I’m hoping to hatch 5.
Our baby calf’s name is now Annabelle! 🙂
I have one blogger who blogged 8 times, each with “I hate” as a title. 😦
It’s hard to keep positive with a class that’s always looking at negatives.
My 8th grade team keeps me afloat.
Our team holds the 8th grade together.
Spring break cannot come soon enough.
I love the small group who wanted to blog in the first place, keep blogging regardless of what their classmates say.
I’m proud of them.
I need sleep.

Hope you get some sleep and maybe get some more positive than negative from your kiddos

We’ll go fishing for those positives tomorrow! 🙂

The ones who try really can make my day amongst an ocean of naysayers. They inspire me not to sink with the crowd.

One of my parters came over and talked briefly about her social studies lesson. It fell apart, she was not feeling good until one of the girls in her class came up and asked, “I’m wanted to get into history in college. What should I be taking in high school?” She could have hugged that girl and it made her day! That’s where our focus is going, to see those kids and celebrate their awesomeness! 🙂

I wish it weren’t so easy to focus on the negative and ignore the positive. There are always kids who are eager to learn and try new things! Isn’t that great?

I agree! A couple have said how much they enjoy this challenge, picking new topics, commenting on blogs. That makes my heart happy and cancels out the “blah” that I get from other students. 🙂

My computer is at 17%.
I’m so happy that the students who were excited are still going at it AND that there’s a group of them. I’m sure that fortifies them. Also, of course, I have learned that there are some silent students who enjoy/get a lot out of it as well.
Hang in there!

I found my charger, so my computer is at 23% and climbing! 🙂 Last year, my quiet ones were always my best bloggers. I’m finding the same for this year as well. As for my group, well, they are unique bunch, and I love teaching them! 🙂

i love your random thoughts – this is totally me !
March 15, 2017 at 10:46 pm
Ha ha! Usually, I’m a bit, just a little bit, more organized in my thoughts. Tonight, my blog got away from me, as did my mind! 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for being real. Sometimes, others need to hear that it isn’t just them.

🙂 A good night’s sleep and we are back at it again, working on the positives! Real is about all we have sometimes! 🙂
