Days 23-5. So I have gotten 2 new students this week and got one of my old students from the beginning of the year back again today. We have gotten 9 new 5 th graders in the last 2 weeks. "Act with understanding and knowledge". I don't why all these students and their families picked Marionville, but I know to be understanding about their situations and knowledgable about how to teach them. The other item this week is "Love without consequences". Ben left Monday for Cali , and that is always hard for me to not give unintended consequences because I am missing him toward him or the boys. I am usually stressed, but right now feeling pretty good. Not too much on my plate with the boys or school. Approaching life with determination
