Friday Fragments

Friday Fragments are bits and pieces of my week; thoughts, ramblings, observations. Short and sweet. To learn more, click here.

Taking advantage of some down time, Kraig took one of my whiteboard markers and drew a little stick figure on the board. The bubble above it's head read, "Yeore stoped!" "Wait a minute," I said, "If you're going to insult people, you really need to spell properly," and I proceeded to teach him the proper spelling. (Hey, I've got to take advantage of every teachable moment, Folks!)

Dear Bag Full of Work,
I'm sorry I keep taking you home with me and setting you next to the couch, only to leave you there (untouched) until I leave for school in the morning. You must be very jealous of my laptop on said couch. I promise I will take you home this weekend and at least dump you out on the floor to get some air.

Parent-Teacher Conferences are next week...MUST DO GRADES.

I approached "Robert" in the office, where he had been "detained" for about a half hour and asked gently if he was ready to go to his next class. He replied, "I hate you. Get away from me!" Sheesh. We've never even had a cross word between us, and now this?

I am always moved by the way kids with conduct disorders try so hard to push people away. (Too bad, kid; it didn't work. I'm not going anywhere.)

I really loved the comments on Wednesday's post (To Be a Fly on the Wall). I hope if you didn't get to read it, you find it interesting enough to leave your own offering.

Finally, this little dog is so, so sweet and inspiring. What a little cutie! (Thanks, Judy, for sending the info.) I chose this link (from Snopes.com) because it has the best pics that I found. Faith is a dog who was born with with only three legs (one deformed, requiring amputation), so he walks like a human being. He's been on Oprah and others, but I thought I'd share his story, in case you haven't heard about him.
