I don’t want to do any stinkin work…

The day is finally done.  School went pretty well today.  The kids are always a little squirrelly.  Erin is working with the battle of the book team right now.  She’s a little frustrated with their work ethic.  Seems like the kids want everything handed to them on a golden platter.  The thought of actually doing some work on their own doesn’t seem to have entered their mind.  There were about 15 kids here for battle of the books.  They were supposed to have read the books by this week.  Next Monday is the beginning of the district competition.  Erin was quizzing the group with practice questions.  The correct answers were few and far between.  So needless to say the competition next week doesn’t look too promising. Its definitely nice that today was our last long day for the week.  Friday’s we dismiss the students at 2:00 allowing the staff to have some much needed collaboration/planning time.  We also have basketball games this weekend.  Stebbins is flying in for the competition.  The kids are all excited.  Basketball is one of the most important things in their lives it seems.
