Nutty!

I almost lost it yesterday.My babies were literally flying into class after lunch.They seem to have drunk alot of soda during lunch and some sugar concotions.So I decided to use the power of imagination-I went on vacation.Some island in the Caribbean but I didn't stay there for too long.I was jolted back to reality when one of my nutty kids poked another student with a pencil and that student screamed so loud I had to go back to business as usual. As the day progressed,I couldn't help but dread my last group of the day.I was so exhausted. By this time I knew in my heart I had had it(Well, I was PMS-ing too!).Right before I began my lesson, a little angel in the back of the class spoke to me. She said as if she knew, "I know someone is going to say something upsetting to you and I'll be upset too". Right then,I melted.I looked at that angel for a second then walked away because I was tearing up.Don't you know miracles still happen.From then on,my babies(who hadn't even heard what the little girl had said) were on task-I didn't even have to say anything to them.They were on task throughout the two periods I had with them!They made my day! So keep hope alive-I know that's so cliche but what the heck?
