This week has been so long. One more day to go. I sat my fourth graders down today and told them to get. to. WORK. Too many of them are settling into this, "Let's dink around and call it good," pattern. I told them, "Look, there are 240 skyscraper drawers AND 60 grammar boxes. I expect you do finish them ALL this year." Looks of shock all around. What? All of them? Yes, children. Especially those of you who are in your fourth year at Walden. You have no excuse for not being finished by the end of this year. If it's your first year, do as much as you can, but try to get them all. GET TO WORK.
I had to leave early today to take my kid to the doctor. Excuse me, the neurologist. He has confirmed the diagnosis of absence seizures and has scheduled an EEG for the 16th. I'll be taking the day off work to take her.
