About Me
- Kate
- I am married to a wonderful man, Bradley! We have a beautiful, 4 year-old daughter, Katelyn. We love to spend time together as a family. I love teaching! I feel God has blessed me with this opportunity and I try each and every day to put forth 110%. I feel I need to be one of the best role models for my kids and my daughter. I am not perfect and continue to learn each day. I want to look back and say (as Ron Clark did), "I learned, I laughed, and I had the time of my life."

I think that rule #18 is a rule that will benefit them all through school,in their jobs and everyday life. In rule #20 it is great to have them follow the same rules when they have a substitute. As an assistant I see first hand how the students will try things with a substitute that they know the teacher does not allow.
I agree with Tracy-Lu about #18. Being organized will help every student throughout their life. With some people, organizational skills just come naturally. For others, it is definitely a learned skill. And wouldn't it be a perfect world if Rule #16 (Turning in homework everday on time) really could be enforced???? I hate being a nag and trying to squeeze homework out of some of the 4th graders! :(
I really am enjoying this book.
Happy day,

Rule #18 made me think about something that I have never tried before. I need to talk to the 6th grade teachers and ask them what my students are lacking academically and in organization so that I can help truly prepare my students for middle school. As Ron said, this may be hard to hear, but it won't get better if I don't know how to help my students. I hope to talk to the 6th grade teachers in the next few weeks. I will let you know how it goes.
I can also relate to rule #20 in a different way. I try to instill in my kids the importance of behaving at all times. (while I am watching, while I am not watching, with a substitute watching, with a substitute not watching) I want my students to understand that they are held responsible for their actions at ALL times, regardless of who is or is not watching. I had a student last week who was having a difficult day and seemed to not be able to follow directions when I was not staring directly at him. As we were walking down the hall, (with my back to him) he was talking. When he went to the restroom by his self during the day, he was making animals sounds inside of the restroom. I had multiple heart-to-heart talks with him last week. I pray that he will learn by May that you must behave at ALL times. This rule made me think about him. Hopefuly this boy will make up his mind to change his actions and make more mature decisions in the future.
