I cracked the code

Screw at least a half hour of my stuff for the kids and took them outside and let the little monsters run around. Now I FINALLY understand recess (I never did as a kid. I didn't like recess)

I only lost one student who didn't come back (not any of the ones I wished gave up) and got a new one who is...let's just say these kids mostly know each other and they DO NOT like her. I get it. I think she likes them, wants their attention and gets it by hitting them.

They enjoyed playing with the plastic bones and playdough. But I see, just watching my nearest neighbor, that there is a VAST difference between 5th and 6th grade. It's like there's a maturity switch someone turns on.

I have no idea how I'm getting my story done by tomorrow's posting. It's over 20K maybe they won't notice the last chapter isn't there...

I owe a lot of comments. Maybe tomorrow.
