Sunday Thoughts

I hate springing forward. Losing an hour of sleep for any reason is just plain wrong. Especially when you're already exhausted. Just plain wrong. Well, the Twittering thing didn't last very long. Oh well. I guess I'll save my Tweets for something really important. I should have tweeted during my San Diego trip. I forgot. I really enjoyed the workshop. Everything Sharon Taberski talked about reinforced the workshop work that's happening at school. There's still so much work left to do. A neighbor called on Friday to complain about the kids coming to and leaving school noisely. How do you tell 900 kids to be quiet on their way home???? I remember when I was teaching fifth grade at Bryant we used to have unhappy neighbors. Every Friday morning we would start the day on the playground by reciting the pledge and listening to announcements from the principal. Of course, the principal used a loud speaker. Like clockwork, every Friday the neighbor would call the police on us because we were disturbing the peace. Of course the police wouldn't come out, but they did notify school security. Oh brother. It would have been kind of interesting if the principal was taken into custody. I'm sure one of us would have finished the announcements for her. It's interesting how people don't see the school right next to the house they just bought or rented. And chances are that the school contains really noisy kids. I'm really mad at myself. I left some important work at school that I wanted to work on today. Oh well. I guess I'll try to work on it tomorrow...if I can squeeze in the time.
