100th Post

This is my 100th post. Yeah for me! So many sad things happening at school lately. Some days are just down right depressing. In between all the downer stuff, there are brief moments of sunshine. For example, the other day a kid went on and on and on about the book she read. I live for the sunshine moments. Sadly, there are way too few sunshine moments. There was a sunshine moment at the end of today...the Think Tank. Seven people showed up. We talked about ways to improve our collaboration. I thought the ideas we generated were great! I can't wait to try some of them out. It's too bad more people don't attend the sessions. I would love to hear from more people in a relaxed, speak your mind atmosphere. I want to believe that everyone wants to know more, so they can do better.

Think tank, huh?? Sounds good. Your teachers are tired, pooped, toasted and roasted to perfection, and done. Isn't it testing time? That takes alot out of teachers! Have you tried bringing tid-bits of chocolate? I know you don't eat the stuff, but it has a charming way of making teachers feel better, if only for that little time called sugar rush! My opinion is that it's too late in the year for any kind of thinking. Wait until the beginning of school, get 'em when they're ready and excited to be back. Trust me on this, I'm speaking from experience ... wait until teachers "like" school again! Right now I don't think it's a place anyone wants to be. xoxo
