I love my students. I have worked in a Title One school before and I have learned to truly appreciate these children because of their resiliency. The school is 100% poverty. Lunch and breakfast are given away for free. Homes are broken, there is often little home support, and I've been bombarded by learning some of the sad situations of my students. For this reason I must love them even more. I hope that this love will overcome my frustration with them. I just have to keep working!!!
My kids are fighters. Last week two boys started beating each other up because one snuck out during centers and stole the other boy's hot cheetos. Let me me show you a taste of what my students are like.. :)
Hot Cheetos and Takis
For some reason, nearly every kid in the school is obsessed with Hot Cheetos. We have to remind them during morning announcements to not bring them to school. I can't eat them. WAY too hot for me. I don't have their hot and spicy spanish taste buds!
I love my kids. They are wearing me out but they are funny, sweet and fascinating. I'll keep them.

How about as a reward for good class behavior... they get to learn a section of the Hot Cheetos and Takis rap! Then, when they've been well behaved enough to learn the whole thing, they can perform it for the rest of the school?! ;)
