So I participated in the wonderful webinar for WBT last night and got inspired AGAIN. How was it different you ask? Well, I was feeling under the weather. I soooo wanted to stay in bed to get better, but getting someone who can handle my class is very difficult. So I went in.

A few students were in the classroom helping out before school started and one of them said to me. "Ms. M, you are not feeling well, but you don't call in for a substitute and stay home because you know we will not act appopriately and you can't trust us to behave." Ummmmmm yes...he was exactly right. So when my little darling 7 year olds came in to class, I let them know that I should be home, but I am there with them, and they need to abide to rule #5 better than they ever did before! And boy did they!!! It was awesome. They must have said rule #5 about 25 times that day. They were even well behaved when they went to computer lab with another teacher and 1/2 of the computers didn't work.

Biffle you are a genius!

Can't wait til the next webinar. Hopefully I can figure out how to post a question.

Taquitas ... thanks for that note! So, here's the deal for anyone who makes a donation to Whole Brain Teaching ... send me a stamped, self addressed envelope and I'll send you a free WBT button (you know, the kind with a pin on the back) ... and what does the button say? What else.
Rule #5!
... and guess what ... you get your color choice, specify either blue background or pink background, both with white letters ...
