Class Funny ~ Is That What They Really Hear?

The other day in class I was messing around with the kids and took one of the boys' chair and sat in his seat.  Of course this gives a huge debate in the students, do they "fight" with the teacher to regain their chair or do they go find a new place to sit?  Oh the dilemma!  It's actually pretty funny to see them struggle with it in their head!

During this thought process, someone shouts (as they always do), "You're the teacher now!"

This student then says, "Okay, I'll teach!"  He goes to the front of the room and says, "Blah, blah, blah." and shakes his head around.

That's when I can't contain my laughter and realize that is EXACTLY how they hear me most days!  Takes me back to the Charlie Brown teacher days.

Long Awaited Update

It's been a long time since my last update and many parents may be wondering if anything is happening in class!  That's the reason for the delay, we have TOO much happening in class!

The year is flying through so quickly and I can't believe it is already October.  The kids are doing amazing work and trying their absolute best; but, I feel like there's not enough time to do all that needs to be done.

We are currently taking a break from the normal busy routine to work on Calico cats for our annual Calico Arts Festival!  In case you haven't heard, we are celebrating our 40th Calico Festival this year.  If you are able to help volunteer your time, we need workers in all areas for set up, tear down and of course the actual event.  Please consider coming out and helping by working a couple hours.  It still leaves plenty of time to enjoy the event with your kids and provides so much for our school!

As well as needing volunteers, we are in desperate need of donations for our Calico basket!  Our theme this year is Movies.  The money raised from this fundraiser goes directly back in to the classroom to benefit your kids!  Without this money, there's so many additional things we aren't able to do.  It's these extras that Calico provides us that allows us to bring the fun back in to the classroom and sets us apart from other schools.

Your support in this major event is greatly appreciated by not only the kids; but, by us teachers as well!
