Every post Thanksgiving a miracle occurs. The 9th graders calm down and suddenly "grow up." This happens across the board with all kinds of students. There is little horseplay that occurs after Thanksgiving. The Mexican shadow boxing guys seem more interested in football than play boxing with each other. The females are looking at which friends are friends and made it through the vacations with out getting too upset at each other. On top of all of this, the weather is cooler.. much cooler and more clothes are worn.. Maybe that is the key.
We are looking at under 4 weeks to finals for my students. Some of the freshmen are going to get leveled when the hour and half tests in each subject start the last two days of school before vacation. I hope that most of them will still be there and not off chasing to where we all want to be.. sunny Mexico.. where the breeze checks in at 82 degrees.. wow
Love
Pat

The kinders are into a routine, the second graders are fussing with their friends...
