Fall 2012 #37: The Grade

F is for Fall, and sadly, it's also for the grade of F, which my school now has, according to the state, and announced to the world today. This F is pretty hard to take, considering we're all working like maniacs, kids and teachers alike. It kind of messed up my mood for awhile.  I do not like getting an F.  I have only gotten one F in my life, before this.  It was in first grade.  I think I added when all the math problems called for subtraction.  I brought the F home and cried to my mom, who hugged me.  My oldest brother said, "This is nothing to cry about.  I've gotten a ton of those."
So, I'm trying to remember that an F is nothing to cry about.  Artful School is a fabulous place to work and to learn. I'm going to remember that F is for FUN and I'm going to try to keep having fun at my job, no matter what.
