Tip of the Iceberg

It's been a two weeks after the first day of classes, and so far, I'm still breathing. My advisory class may be the rowdiest of the four sections, but I love them. I think I will have a swell time this year. Teachers have been complaining about their noise, but I don't really mind. I know that their behavior is just the tip of the iceberg, and I know that in the final analysis, my St. Augustine class would be the best 5th grade class this school year. With a little motivation and with a lot of love, they would be more than manageable - they'd be great. I'm looking forward to a great 2009-2010. I know that I shouldn't expect a lot from these kids, but I know their potential. All I have to do now is to tap in their potentials and make them the best of what they can be.
