We finished STAR testing this week at the junior high where I teach. Needless to say, it has been a crazy week, and it's not even over. I've developed a knack for some teaching faces, mostly in the "what the hell are you thinking" category. I also had one of the best moments ever today. Yesterday I gave a girl detention to serve tomorrow. Giving detentions is truly is rare for me, even though it probably shouldn't me. So of course when I step out of my classroom and find her detention slip crumpled up on the ground basically as a big EFF YOU MISS NUNEZ, I'M NOT GOING TO DETENTION.....
I wasn't too thrilled.
That changed, however, when I returned said detention slip to this girl during her 7th period class today, with a big grin on my face as I handed it to her and said, "here baby girl, I think you dropped this; I wouldn't want you to forget to go tomorrow."
Junior high girl: 0
Miss Nunez: 1
TGTIF (thank God tomorrow is Friday.)
