Table manners, being robbed, and desk rehab

Whoa, what a week! We seem to be moving at warp speed, but enjoying every minute of it! We had a great lesson in all things prim and proper by Mrs. Molly Kellogg, the director of the Leon Chapter of the National League of Junior Cotillions. On Friday during our Valentine's Day luncheon, students put their manners to the test. They did a wonderful job. Polite conversations, silverware in the correct positions, and eating with their mouths closed could be seen and heard all around our room.



We were also robbed this week...robbed of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place prize for our Black History Month door design. We believed that we had a strong contender. You judge for yourself.



Yes, there are interesting facts hiding behind each door to let you know more about key players of the Underground Railroad.



And finally, Daly fought his desk and the desk won. His desk literally imploded on him right as Justice Teaching was starting on Friday. I am praying that his bedroom does not resemble this, or he is going to give his mother a nervous breakdown through his teenage years. The troops rallied around him for an old fashioned intervention and finally a rehabilitated pack rat got his desk in working order.

Before: That is Daly trying to stop me from dumping his desk...



After, Daly the Desk Hoarder uses the help of kind classmates to clean up his cluttered ways.
