Well, it's halloween night, and I am writing this blog as I pass out candy to the little trick-or-treaters that are slowly coming by. The first batch of kids looked way past their prime, but I humored them anyway and gave them handfuls of yummy chocolates. I remember when my brother and I used to go trick-or-treating when we were kids, and we always ended up going in tatters trying to be a haggered old couple. In terms of school, this past week was the last week before the 5th graders in A track went off track for a month. This means starting Monday, I will be going back to 6th grade. I am happy that time is passing quickly, but this also means that finals are around the corner. Some of the assignments I have found to be difficult, but I am sure I will get through. On my reading test I shocked myself and scored a 96% !! I was sure I was going to be in the low Cs. A couple of weeks ago, I had an incident with a parent. I was subbing for a half day on a Thursday, and full day on the Friday. The child's parent called me at school Friday morning, and chewed me out! The reason: I had her child turn a card for not reading, and didn't let her go to the bathroom when she wanted. Pheweee! I met with the principal, and I prepared a written statement about the events. There was some closure. The parent has had a history of problems with my master teacher and the principal and vice-principal. She finally realized that she needs to let her daughter deal with her problems on her own. It was a learning experience. I learned that dealing with parents is probably the most difficult part of all! Well, happy halloween to all of you out there! Image from: Stock Xchange
