So, this week the fourth grade teachers and fifth grade teachers at our building met on Tuesday after school to do the divvying up of students. Also present was Mr. Principal and Ms. Special Education Teacher. The gal who was going to be changing from a straight fourth to a straight fifth grade class is young, about 24 years old. Which means I started to teach the year she was born.
Anyway, she was listing off the kids she would be giving to me (the three fourth grade teachers had gotten together the day before ON LABOR DAY to figure this out...Who meets on weekend/vacation days to do stuff like this? Not me...). She gets to Bobby. "You will really have to stay on top of Bobby. I did the first two days of school, and today he was great!"
Thanks for your advice, Sweetie! It's cute that you think you need to tell me this. But let me tell you: I can spot who I need to "stay on top of..." within the first five minutes of meeting them!
