love fall

Well, it´s starting to turn cold again. Today I wore my 3 layers all day, with a beanie. We only had morning activities today because yesterday was the last day of teh first period. Tomorrow...no school! but i´ll be working much on my grades!
This year is going a lot better than at first. My kids seemed to have calmed down, a little, having gotten used to me and me to them. We are still having some problems with discipline so come Monday at the beginning of the new term we will be switching 4 kids between the two classes to see if that balances it out a bit.
The other day I had a free period and was in my classroom working while the social studies teacher was giving class in spanish. They were discussing community, how to live together, the Golden Rule, and what we need to successfully and happily live togther. One student called out ¨REspect!¨ ¨Yes!¨, the teacher said, änd what would happen if we didn´t have respect?¨
¨We´d DIE!¨,SHOUTED one boy. I looked up at Ms. Iris and she at me and we both smiled. He was so adament it was hilarious.
The new teachers in the apartments and I we all get along really well. It´s a great year so far. THanks for all your prayers and be sure I am remembering all my Californian friends and family at this time.
