RN just got back from Caleb's award ceremony. He got a Teachers Honor Roll award (3.0-3.49 gpa) and a Perfect Citizenship award.

RN I am saddened to say that this afternoon a student in my classroom had a knife in his desk. Another boy came up to me and told me that the student had it in his desk and told him that he was going to "cut" someone after school. I am SO glad that the one boy came and told me right away. I told my class that he did the right thing to tell. If anyone else ever sees something like that, they need to let the teacher know right away so that no one gets hurt. He received two days out of school suspension. I sure wish our school district would adopt a zero-tolerance policy, but so far they have not. So sad to me that you have to worry about things like that in first grade now. :-(

RN Kc, I'm curious. How was the student with the knife approached about it, and how did he react to being caught?

RN...I'm curious about the boy who told about it. Was he singled out? I hope the other boy doesn't want to retaliate. I think it was very brave of the boy who told.

So sad, indeed. First grade is six and seven year olds, isn't it? Scary.

RN I agree with Bee. I worry about the "tattle-tale" being outed. How very sad that this goes on in first grade.

RN Naja, I called him up to my desk and asked to see what was in his pockets. He pulled out some keys and a lock. Then the other boy told me that he had put the knife in his desk. I went and opened his desk and there it was. He showed no emotion to being caught with it. He never does show any emotion if he's reprimanded about something. That to me is scary in itself for a child so young...when they look right at you and just see a cold stare and nothing more. Those are the ones that really worry me.

The other boy who told is very friendly with him. He just came out and said it right in front of the class. It also did not bother him at all to tell. No, I certainly hope that there is no retaliation. The boy who told is very "street savvy" already too though. (Let's just say at seven years old his parents already put up his own myspace page for him. They are involved locally with a type of rap/dance entertainment here. The family also has their own page with inappropriate language and music on it. The mother gave me the website address at conference so that I could check it out. Enough said. That's as far as I'll go into it on here.) That's why I'm glad that he did tell me and didn't just keep it to himself thinking it was "cool."

Yes Bee, they're six and seven. :-( I truly love teaching. That's why stuff like this starting to go on more recently really sickens me.

right now, I think we have to be very careful about these kinds of things. My DS, when he was in first grade, jokingly said he would one day bring guns and knives to school just to get suspended.

A girl passing by heard this without context and turned him in. they called the police BEFORE they called me.

My DS had no access to such things, but he developed a school phobia that lasted for three years over the incident.

RN, Karuuna I see your point about that, but in my case today I had the knife in my hand. It was unfortunate that happened to your son.

RN congrats Tishala!!!

RN I just encountered the oddest thing. Darren and I don't drink much coffee and never buy it to have at home. If I want some, like tonight, I have to go up to the cheveron station. Since I was getting that, told the lady to give me two lottery scratcher tickets and she told me sorry, she couldn't sell them after 9pm. I kinda stared at her for a minute then realized she was serious! She said the manager doesn't allow them to sell them after 9, if they sold alcohol they could sell it til 2am, but not lottery tickets. How strange.

RN I remembered to go outside tonight to watch the International Space Station as it zipped over W to S in about one minute. I hope I remember again tomorrow night, because it will be closer and I will be able to watch it NW to SE for three minutes if the weather is fair enough.

RN Gracie, DH and I watched it last night, too! We also walked over to the beach and watched a rocket launch. It was bright orange and exciting to see.

Right now Colossus wandered through the living room with an industrial-grade rasp in one hand and one of those extendo-poles in the other. He was singing about having a flagpole that goes up 20 feet. I told him I would use both of them on him when he was through trimming the deck.

Right now Colossus is trying to figure out how fast and far he can run away from home without me catching him first.

Heh. It's a nice day out. My money's on me.

RN tell Colossus while he's running head down this direction, bring his rasp and pole over here. I would love to have a 20 ft flag pole to hang our flag on.

LOL Gracie, I will send him your way I woke up this morning on the 2nd floor of our house with a 20-foot Old Glory flapping outside the window (and obscuring my view of the lake and my ducks). Not unpatriotic here, just thinking we can reach a compromise.

Oh, and RN Colossus is passed out on the sofa with a Hilton sleep mask over his eyes, woobies tucked up to his neck and Sheena curled up on his lap.

He would kill me if I posted a picture here, but it's awful cute. Him so tired. Her too.
