The New and Improved Ms. Stripes
Sparky here. Wow! I don’t know who gave Ms. Stripes the brain transplant, but whoever it was, I owe them BIG TIME! Ms. Stripes has actually been really nice the past couple of days. When something happens in class she doesn’t immediately freak out and try to track down the culprit so she can punish them. Now she just says “Okay, settle down.” And we do! ‘Cause sometimes kids just get a bit silly and we just need to be reminded how to act, not sentenced to hard time. A lot of students were having a hard time understanding our fractions assignment the other day and Ms. Stripes did the craziest thing ever – the next day, she brought in a pan of brownies she had baked, and we divided it up into half and then quarters and then eighths’ and then we used the brownies to try adding quarters and eighths! And then we got to eat them! Okay, first of all – that was AWESOME, and second, we totally understood the whole fraction thing by the end of the lesson! I don’t know if this is going to keep up or if … Read more

Ms. Stripes Is Actually NICE?
Hi , it’s Sparky and I’ve got some unbelievable news! You know Ms. Stripes? She’s actually NICE! Even though she’s new here and really strict and has yelled at some of us already (including at me this one time I accidentally dropped something in the middle of class. It wasn’t my fault!), yesterday Nibbles told me that when she was crying in the hallway because she’d gotten a bad mark on her science test, Ms. Stripes stopped and consoled her. She said Nibbles just needed a bit of extra help and that she’d be glad to stay after school to go over homework with her. She even offered her a piece of her chocolate bar. I can’t believe it! Ms. Stripes has been the toughest teacher we’ve ever had, but maybe she has a soft side too! Next time I do badly on a test, maybe I’ll try crying in the hallway, too….hmm…

Hailey and Ms. Stripes’ Heart to Heart
So I stopped by Kinzville Academy today to surprise Ms. Stripes with a bunch of flowers as a thank you for being such a great client. Ms. Cowoline directed me to her class and as I waited outside for her to dismiss the kids it seemed like a very different Ms. Stripes than the one I knew was in that classroom. It sounded like Sparky dropped his hat on the floor and Ms. Stripes accused him of doing it on purpose to disrupt the class. When Sparky tried to explain that his hat fell off when he bent over to pick up his pencil, Ms. Stripes told him that for speaking back to her he was going to have to stay in for recess. Then when Nibbles tried to explain that she saw the hat fall off, Ms. Stripes told her to stay in too. When Ms. Stripes came out and saw me, I guess the shock on my face was apparent. She invited me to come for a coffee in the staff room and explained that although she may sound tough, she has to be firm because she is new and the kids wouldn’t respect her if she wasn’t … Read more
