Spring has Sprung early

So I get back to school today after three days away, and I find 5, yes 5, suspension notices in my box all students from my 8th grade class! Can you believe it? One student is out for the rest of the year, one may be out for the rest of the year, two are suspended for 5 days, and one is out for 3 days! Let me say, it was a good day today! I don't wish any of my kids to be in trouble, but when they bring it on themselves, sometimes, it's a nice treat for me.

What did they do? One boy- well I can't say exactly, but let's just say it had to do with using a contraband item in my classroom. So, when I showed up this morning, I was in a great mood. And my class without the 5 worst behaved kids? Quiet and really nice! In fact, we are having a pizza party on Friday to reward them for their good behavior- something I've wanted to do all year for those good kids in the class. Maybe I should be absent more often?? It's going to be a great week!
