And sometimes they do something nice...

Most of the time I feel as though I'm fighting an uphill battle with my students. It is hard to make them care about much of anything. However, yesterday they did something that I found to be absolutely adorable. There was a spider that came down from the ceiling(yuck!) during class yesterday and one of my kids, a seriously disturbed little boy, got up from his desk and tried to kill it. Then I hear, "Don't kill her! That's Charlotte!" I found this to be just so precious because we are reading Charlotte's Web right now and my kids actually care about something! So all day long I heard conversations about how Charlotte had come to visit us, (obviously we haven't read the end of the book yet) but it was still a great moment even though I HATE spiders!
