Classroom III

This past week, we had constant battles being waged by many of our students.  They are so cruel to each other.  Constantly talking about their shoes, their hair, how fat they are, how skinny, how dark, how dumb– I am feed-up with it.  Society has taught our kids that they are not valued.  They are for the most part not the most popular children due to behavior problems or for making a mistake and having gotten into legal problems, or due to health issues.   They  lash out with the only thing they have- their tongues and their fists.  I am ready of a BREAK!

When I looked at this bulletin board, I felt a calming sensation come over me.  So, Monday, I am going to change our overly busy bulletin board, with all the ugly photos of students – mostly old ones that need to come down anyway.  Get the art teacher to have all our students make snow flakes, and put them on them of our bulletin board located in our small commons area.  Oh, I just remembered.  We have traditionally made snow flakes out of borax.

We need to figure a way to hang them on them on the bulletin board.  On second thought, they will have them broken and smashed, the paper ones will probably work much better. 

I will post a photo of our bulletin board and let my readers know it we braved the “real” borax snowflakes or stick with the paper ones.
