SHEILA KING spoke of Summer plans? to DAN TRIPLETT on 06-22-97
SK>-> Well....I have already written in about a few of my summer plans
SK>-> but I don't think I announced that I am retiring from
SK>-> kindergarten!  Yes folks, after 8 years the little buggers have
SK>-> folks, after 8 years the little buggers have gotten to me.  gotten
SK>-> to me.  Yes Gotten to me....to
SK>-> me.........me......me.....ladjfopjdpoij
SK>Shoot, Dan! I am amazed to find out that you are actually human!

You doubted it?  Learned a lot in those 8 years too.  
When a boy holds it, he's gotta go....if he's dancing and holding 
it....it may be too late....girls don't hold as much as they 
dance...either way...never say no!
Five year olds have way too much energy.
Forty Five year olds have way too little energy.
Kids can be very honest.....like the time little Derick hit Adam.....I 
saw it....I went over to Derick and scolded him (like a good mom 
would)...but he insisted he never hit Adam....I said I saw it....he said 
"But Mr. Triplett, I didn't hit Adam...I hit Andrew....."
ADD stands for A Dreary Day
ADHD stands for A Dreary Horrible Day
MDT stands for "More Damn Trouble"
If you don't want kids to break any rules, then don't have any rules to 
break...
A Teacher Certificate is really a License to Learn....
SK>Definitely sounds like a challenge. I hope you will keep us all
SK>informed how it goes.
I will.....it is exciting and definitely a challenge....
SK>I'm hoping this coming year to have more time to spend on this
SK>conference area. This past year was the year from...er...HECK!...
Mine too....
SK>As it turns out, the admin has decided not to have me teach AP
SK>Computer Science next year. I didn't want to teach two AP preps PLUS
SK>a third prep, and they decided they couldn't afford to have me teach
SK>two AP preps, which didn't fill out a full teaching load, and still
SK>pay me full salary. Ah, well. So, I'll still have my AP Calculus
SK>(which I'm hoping to do some prepping for during this summer) and my
SK>Honors Geometry, and some third prep as yet undediced. I'm hoping for
SK>a lower level, regular ability course (such as Algebra I) or a
SK>remedial course (such as our Intermediate Algebra...lower ability
SK>second algebra course).
I'm glad I teach elementary math....I have enough trouble with unifix 
cubes and geo boards....
SK>Hopefully, this will be less of a workload for me than I had this
SK>past year.
Dream on....:)
Hope your summer is going well...
Dan
