<p> You find yourself ACTUALLY saying this:</p>
<p> </p>
<p> "When you are in line  it is <strong>not</strong> okay to be or act like a dinosaur."</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I said this to a kid today.. seriously... and inside my head I was thinking that I couldn't even believe that I was saying it.. !</p>
<p> How many more months until June ?  ....</p>

<p>But kitty cats are ok, right?</p>

 

[RaisingArizonainNH]

<p><br>
  Acting like a kitty cat usually occurs before or during morning meeting.. and no of course that is not okay !</p>
<p> </p>
<p> ( SOMETIMES.. I really HATE making them conform!...  SO today I told the entire class that we could be a  very very  quiet  train in the hall way... it really did keep them in line amd  I had fun too.  That may b why I am not a fav with some teachers !)</p>

<p>Teaching K-1 kidlettes [especially my at-risk clients] is like trying to train cats, herd cats, and/or keeping a posse of kittens in a box.</p>

<p>I love that herding cats commercial!  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/lol.gif" title=""></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This week I used a line on my husband that used to work with my kids when they were little:  "Let's see who can be quiet the longest!"  (He was talking to me when I was trying to fall asleep)  It actually used to work.  Doesn't work so well on husbands.</p>

<p>This sounds like a Calvin and Hobbes.</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>OMG! After reading this last night, I then read something that said that this person told people to "act like a dinosaur" and it had to do with lifting heavy objects and keeping your arms close to your torso like a T-Rex. But how funny and ironic? LOL</p>

 

[RaisingArizonainNH]

 For sure, we have used that phrase many times in the last month!   They are actually getting better, so it is encouraging that learning <strong>is</strong> actually happening!<br>

<p>I actually planned a lot of that weekend and it went beautifully...especially when you consider the number of participants, from several states, and a couple Canadians.  Getting people to and from airports and hotels and such.  Some did the full, others did the half, we filled up half a restaurant. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's been over a year for pete's sake.  What is your beef about that weekend anyway??<br><br>

<p>Yes, considering the number of people involved it went well.  But... dinner Friday evening, getting the message out to the multiple change of plans for dinner.  Oh yah, no one bothered to tell me, and you--who wasn't even going to dinner with us--were the one who had to call me.  And trying to coordinate our relay team with all that activity going on in the party room...  Yah, it was a pretty crazy weekend!</p>

<p>What are you trying to say, Scoobs, us Canadians are hard to handle?  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;" title=""></p>
