Otherwise, nothing else was said about her day.

Today’s Teacher/Staff appreciation: appetizers.

3 of my students gave me appreciation gifts after class today. I feel awkward when I receive gifts from my students but they enjoy giving them to me and the look on their face is priceless! So I will accept them with a cheerful heart and shower them with thanks and many hugs.

Mr. J, gave me a gluten-free chocolate cupcake called “Death by Chocolate”.
My first gluten free bakery product and I really liked it! Not sweet at all.
The subtle chocolate frosting was yummy!

Today and tomorrow Teacher Mrs. B is gone and a substitute is in her place.

Isabel said most of the kids in class were respectful to her but a few choose not to. 1 boy in class actually went home because of unwillingness to cooperate and be respectful to the substitute. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day for her and the class remember’s their 3 R’s.

Today’s Chapel was giving by Pastor Comstock who spoke from 1 Samuel 2 and 3. God spoke to Samuel while he was sleeping. God had a message and a plan for Samuel’s life. Samuel choose to obey God because he trusted him. God calls all of us to humbly commit to his purpose. We can then choose to honor God in our lives, as Samuel demonstrated to us.

Today is just a normal Friday and we haven’t had one of those in over 5 weeks! No half day. No spirit day! No school day! Just a normal full day Friday! Wow!

We are down to our final 6 1/2 weeks of school. The end is coming fast and yet we still need to keep going strong and not get lazy. Summer will be here before we know it!

Today was better day for Isabel and her friends. They all got along and Isabel says that she became better friends with the older girl in class. They actually played together and got along much better then they have in the past.
