The Beginning of a Long, Long Week!

This week the upper grades are testing. This means we are trapped in the classroom with all the kids until it's over. This will go on until Wednesday, we have been eating with the kids, and have no specials classes. I LOVE my kids, but certainly we need a break from each other. We went out for recess today, which is really rare. In my district we only get 10 min of recess time and it normally is more trouble than it's worth. Oh, but today we stayed out for about 30 minutes since we didn't have any specials classes. You would think that this would be a great treat, but my class is prone to complaining and this too ended with tattling and crying.  
Well this is the first of many tales from the Reading Rascals!
