As I walked out into the yard today, I saw buds on the trees on this, the first day that actually feels like Spring.
Spring is such a time of renewal. Even though weather can be unpredictable, we know that in the Midwest, Spring will eventually come. Sometimes it only lasts a day and then we are heavy into the mid-80s, but there will be Spring none the less.
Spring is also an interesting time in Middle School.
The relationships come out!!!
Yes, this is the wonderful time of year when the boys, who have been acting quite immature all year to this point, notice the girls.
New Distractions.
New Behaviors.
New things to watch for in the hallways.
New Concerns.
And...
New Drama.
It is all so interesting from ab outsiders point of view. It is the dance of the bumble bee in a sense. The innate mating ritual that humans go through.
Middle School is the pinnacle of Spring- Change!
It is also the time of year that 6th graders Do NOT discover deodorant nearly fast enough!
Be Mindful.
Peace.

We're still seeing only a few signs of spring here. Sigh. I'd even take the deoderant-lacking sixth graders if it meant temps were warming up!
