Comments for An Elementary School Teacher in the Show Me State http://showmeteachmeblogme.wordpress.com Just another WordPress.com weblog Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:11:27 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on Far from perfection by Maia http://showmeteachmeblogme.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/81/#comment-70 Maia Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:11:27 +0000 http://showmeteachmeblogme.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/81/#comment-70 Hi! It's Maiabee8 from IB, I stumbled onto this blog a bit ago. I really love reading about the work you are doing. I just thought I would pop in and say hello. A question on MD, does your school have a social worker? It sounds like this kid might have some real bad news going on at home from the sound of his behavior. Baring that, is there a way to get him involved in activities that can use up his energy productively? He is very lucky to have a teacher who cares about his well-being, and I think he knows it hence the acting out for your attention. He needs something that his ten year old self can't articulate appropriately. Hopefully he'll be able to get what he needs. Hi! It’s Maiabee8 from IB, I stumbled onto this blog a bit ago.

Google the lyrics to Crank Dat Soulja Boy. Then go on urbandictionary.com and look up "superman" and "robocop." See if you still think "surreal" is the proper word for 200 8-9-10 year olds doing the dance in school. Uh, yeah. Google the lyrics to Crank Dat Soulja Boy.

Wow, to raise their scores THAT much you must really be getting through to them. You were so right to be strict at the beginning so you can have fun now- kids will often meet the expectations we set for them - whether high OR low! Keep up the good work :-) Isn’t it great to see such progress on the test scores? Wow, to raise their scores THAT much you must really be getting through to them.
