so i was right.. got sick.
yesterday was 87 percent sure i was going to puke at school... somehow i made it through, was ready to pass out when i got home with fever and nausea but found out my landlord has not been making payments so my house is going to be FORECLOSED and that there is going to be an auction for it wednesday... AND we found out b/c our sweet little neighbor willa came by and let us know by asking if we had heard the news.. had heard NOTHING From our landlord.
so that was fun
woke up this morning and still have a fever but i can eat which is nice. i just have a terrible headache. and wish i could do stuff cause it's the weekend, but at least i can rest and not go to work! that was hard.
also i'm going to kind of miss my group of kids this las week. i get my old group next week, and i love them too, they just need a little more discipline and reminders. ALSO my kids are convinced i'm 107... i def look that old. :)

every day is getting betteR :)
i do love my kids... they are very annoying, want to talk, don't listen, and hate learning spanish sometimes
but at the end of the day i'm excited for the next day and really do like them.. and it's been what 1 week?
also... heartbreaking story of the day,
we had a pre-school child come in with his mother, and he had a HUGE swollen mouth. His mother informed us that he had had TWO Teeth pulled out by the root, but would not talk to him, and she was sure that it had happened at school, there's NO WAY in hell that our PRe-k teacher did that, she's the sweetest little lady in the world! needless to say we had police at school ALL day long, and my co-teacher got interviewed b/c the boy talked to her.
She asked him, "what happeneD?" and he said someone kicked him in the mouth. he wouldn't say who or where, but when the teacher said, who told you to put ur hood up after it happened, he said "mommy did". she said "was there blood?" "he said, ya, everywhere, and it tasted really yucky"-no blood was anywhere in the pre-k classroom... poor kid. that makes me sadder than anything
on a lighter note, i got hit on today by the eigth grade boys at our school.. WOO HOO haha and i quote "who be dat teacher, man i do whatever she say.. ms. gerlach, mhmmmm ms. gerlach."
haha o lordy

getting easier??
so i can't decide if it's getting easier, or i'm just getting more used to hard times.. i think it might be a little of both. Something that made me cry last week i was so used to today i just said "we're not doing this" and walked off, leaving the kid w/ the principal. But he's a sweet boy, just TERRIBLE attitude, that we're working on adjusting
principal came into class today, gave me a good memo, said things were looking good HURRAY!
there might be staff changing after labor day.. getting a little nervous cause this district is CRAAZY and sucks.. but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get moved!!!
i would also love to quote a student, after i told them they would lose recess if they misbehaved/goofed offf (which they did today)
-Ms. Gerlach! Recess is a GREAT incentive! haha

2nd week of school...
and i've already got a girl suspended for 3 days....
on the one hand i'm excited (which sounds terrible) b/c she was my biggest classroom management problem, distracted other kids, and always gave me attitude
on the other hand i feel terrible and like i let her down and gave up on her too easily b/c i couldn't get her to do what i wanted to so sent her to the principal.
she was suspended for defiance, b/c she would not do what i said, get up in class and just mosey around distracting others and getting in my stuff, and then when i would send her to time out, buddy room or other punishment it was like her feet were glued to the floor.... grab her by the hand, lead her shoulders, NOTHING could make her move, in fact she would HANG on doorways as not to leave...
as she left she stuck the suspension note in my face and said, "SEE NOW YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANT I HOPE YOURE HAPPY!" and walked off.... actually no tonneshia... i wanted you to excel and now i feel i've let you down.
