I work in a school (& community) that is 95% latino. Today, we went to the park to have a picnic with our reading buddies. The other teacher and I were watching the kids play and noticed they were playing 'cops and robbers'.

So I basically worked on things that I never get to do, seeing ghibby, sleeping, reading and ( Read more... )

Jury duty. I had pretty high hopes for jury duty. It was quite the disappointment. Very boring. My group did get called, they had us lined up in the hallway ready to go in when the guy changed his plea to guilty. So they didn't need us.
