I had one person after another crying in my room today. It seemed like there was no break without someone crying. Well no one was crying during PE I think. And I think it's funny. I'm actually chuckling as I write this.
From about 8:30 to 10:30 I had a girl who was teary eyed and red faced all morning about something. She wanted to go home but I said she couldn't ask.
Right before reading groups, I gave 3 boys homework notices because they didn't turn in their homework. 2 of them sat at their desks and cried and cried. One girl came up to me concerned about why there was so many people crying and I told her nothing's wrong they are just sad.
Then during reading groups a girl comes in sobbing, not just tears, but sobbing. I told her to sit down for 5 minutes before she went to reading group to control herself. She came back from reading groups and sobbed for another 4o minutes.
Oh dear. so many tears. I like teaching 5th grade, but I definitely would not want to be an actual 5th grader every again.
