Today's highlights: *Beautiful essays written by sweet children about their heroes. What a cool buncha kids! *Actual collaboration going on in my classroom, but the kids call it "collabo'." *Being told to spend $200 on stuff for our kiddos for SOL testing. Whee! Pencils! Purty pencils! *Getting to say nice stuff on progress reports for kids who have improved. *Breaking up a grrrl fight, with the aggressor being mystified as to how I made her pull the punch she threw.(Wrist lock. Painful for a brief second. Non-injurious. Kept her from violating her probation.) Getting a hug from each grrrl later, in office. *Nice visit from a favorite former student after school. *Sweet invite to graduation from the HS we feed into. I just might go; there's a special section reserved for teachers from the middle schools, and I taught about 60% of those seniors (some on the seven-year HS plan). *Comics to read at home, thanks to my Samurai! Ultimate Spidey, Bruce and Clark Are Friends, and Wondy! *Dinner with Casey: Go away, dog! Lie down, dog! Quit washing my foot, dog! (He really, really wanted my pork roast, and my ice cream. Piggy!) *Last episode of Angel. No more Boreanaz. No more Spike. Waaaah! *Bed, bed, bed, bed, bed. Lowlight: I thinge I'be gedding a code.
