first week

The first week is over and i just survived my first second Monday.
The first week was full of good stories. For example:
Story 1: One of my students has behavior medications that wear off around noon. His parents have been busy and haven't had time to get the school the proper papers saying we can give him the drugs he needs. Right before lunch one day he went to his backpack, pulled out a big canister of pills, holding them above his head he said in a loud voice "so my mom DID put them in here!" I confiscated them and turned them into the office. I'm watching him a lot more closely now. He overdosed last year just because he was curious what would happen if he took 5 instead of just 1. He's a great kid though and I have to tell myself not to laugh at his antics since that will only encourage him.
Story 2: I asked the students to tell me how their families came to Utah, as we discussed Utah history. I was expecting to get some Pioneer stories instead I got several stories about cramming into vans and hiking in forests to get over the Mexican border.
Story 3: Along the same lines as the above story. I asked my students who the first people to come to Utah were and got the answers "Christopher Columbus, Abraham Lincoln, and Davy Crockett.

There you have three of my stories about the first week goodness.
