But, as soon as I did so, I totally regretted it. Ppbblltt! Great. The classic whoopee cushion prank. The whole class erupted in laughter, and I felt my face get as hot as the Sahara Desert. “P. U., Erika! What did you eat for breakfast this morning? A can of beans?” Stacey shouted loud enough for the…

sure that everyone was on task when they were supposed to be. However, this week I taught morning meeting and skills block.

While there are some really good things which this unit had like maintaining…

this point that her aunt’s face was becoming red from her neck up to her face. “I am grateful for everything you do for me. I know you took me in instead of sending into the foster system. I’ll go and get dinner started,” Hayley said with her head down and walked around her aunt. Although Lana was not done with her because as she walked near her she stretched her hand out and grabbed her arm. “Don’t worry about dinner anymore I’ll be eating while you are to go to your room and don’t come out…
