Climbing and climbing in numbers

My class count is finally climbing so that I am close in number to the rest of 4th grade. I had two new students added within 2 hours today!! This is a little insane, but it does save on repeating the same information over and over again to the new students. My class is turning into a bunch of chatter boxes. I keep hoping that it will improve, but even with taking away privileges, they just keep talking.

At least my grad work is starting to not seem so overwhelming. It is still a lot of work, and I may not take 2 classes at the same time again while school is in session (this will mean that it takes longer to graduate). If I survive this I may just take a chance again!!

Back to the grind of grading papers!
