After coming in this morning and getting all my materials printed, copied, and ready to go for today and tomorrow, I was walking down the hall back to my classroom feeling pretty good about myself. Then, I got to my room.
I noticed an AP was standing in my partner teacher's room and could only imagine what it must be about. Probably another angry parent, upset over her child's low grades. Come to find out, administrators were posted all around the building looking for one of my students.
Somehow they learned that this morning he had a gun in his bookbag. Not a real gun, but a gun nonetheless; supposedly of the pellet variety. We were all given instructions that if he came to school, we were to intercept him immediately and lead him directly to the office, not allowing him to take off his bookbag. I looked for him this morning but never saw him.
Then he shows up for first period with Mr. Wilson. Whatever happened between him and the administration has already taken place. The fact that he's in class must mean that it wasn't a serious enough offense that he had to be escorted off-campus with a one-way ticket to ALC (alternative school). Still, it's hard to believe that he's in my class this morning after all the commotion earlier.
I'm still working on finding out what happened.

I can't wait to see you in two weeks at the Atlanta airport! Just think- we'll be missing Grey's Anatomy and hugging and screaming in the airport. Or, maybe that will just be me? :o) Can't wait to catch up and you're doing an amazing job! You are providing the best influence these students could ever be blessed with in their lives.
