Good Monsters

A huge thank you goes out to the Schipp parents, David and Julie, for picking up our pizzas today from Cool River Pizza. They got a little bit of hassle over it during the pick-up, so we really appreciate the effort they put forth today--they even went and got plates for us and ran home to get drinks for people who forgot them.

Guess who else helped out today? Drew Klotz brought in his homemade scones for the class at lunch also. They were absolutely delicious.

We had a false fire alarm pull at the end of the day today. After coming back to the classroom, we had a nice talk about rumors and the silliness that gets started with all of that, and how harmful it can be, even if it happens to be true.

Just then, another teacher walked in and asked if I knew who it was yet, and if I found out, could I please let her and her class know, because they were dying to find out. I said sure. I was so proud of my class when the next thing they said was, "You're not really going to tell them if you find out, are you, Mr. Carter?" They know me so well.

My answer: "Nope."
