A little glimpse of an afternoon in Miss Sullivan’s circus:
Student one: Crafting a big sign that reads “Jay Tee is MAN” tapping it on the wall and sitting with his legs in a butterfly looking at his creation.
Student two: Balling up paper and throwing it at my feet.
Student three: Reading out loud with me every time I turn my back to him.
Student four: Listening and following along as I read.
Student five: Gazing across the room at student six, the girl he “loves”
Student six: Pulling out chunks of her weave.
Student seven: Holding his hands in front of his face and counting his fingers out loud, with no idea that anyone is looking at him like he is crazy.
Student eight: Throwing a piece of fuzz up in the air and catching it.
Student nine: Moving chair directly behind me as I write on the board so when I turn around she is less than a foot away, with her ears plugged by the way.
Student ten: Laughing in his wheelchair because the class is out of control.
Student eleven: Suspended and sitting at home because he punched someone in the face.
Student twelve: Sitting at home because her mom and mom’s boyfriend punched another one of my student’s moms in the face.
Student thirteen: Coloring me a sign that says “I love Sarah”
Student fourteen: Counting down the 14 days of school until SUMMER!

ha, sounds strikingly like my eleventh graders...Good thing we only have 12 more days of school!
Teacher sitting at her desk with a dazed look on her face counting on her fingers the number of school days left, pulling out her hair, throwing balled up paper and laughing because she doesn't have to worry about her room being out of control in just a few short weeks. Ahh summer, just in time! Can't wait to see you Sarah. Love and hugs, Dad
Oh Sarah Jean,
You really have it tough. I think about you all the time. I'm sorry it's so hard. Hang in there, a break is in sight. We will fill it with as much fun and rest as we can. I love you and can't wait to give you a great big hug.
Mama
