LAUGH OUT LOUD #2

NO BONES ABOUT IT!
     Occasionally, my husband, Pete, teaches an anatomy class.  So I thought it would be fun if Pete came to my first grade class and taught us a little about bones.  He brought in a human skeleton and several animal skulls.  He talked about the differences between them.  Fascinating!  Next he showed us how the foot was put together and how the elbow worked.
     My students were enthralled, captivated, eyes focused on every word.
     "Questions?" Pete asked.
     A little girl quickly raised her hand and asked, "Do you have any bones in your mustache?"
     (I just smiled!)

St. Patrick's Day

Are you getting ready for St. Patrick's Day?  I love when Larry Leprechaun comes to visit our classroom and plays his tricks. He leaves his things everywhere.  We hope to catch him and get his gold or get 3 wishes.

This is part of the ideas that come from my unit Leprechaun in the Classroom.

Love the Leprechauns!

LAUGH OUT LOUD #1

I love a good story, especially a funny one!  So I will begin my blog with this one.

LAUGH OUT LOUD MOMENT.

I was out in my backyard gardening.  I could hear the neighbors very young children rustling around in their chicken coop, which is just on the other side of our adjoining fence.  They began talking.  The young girl (4 years old) said, "The chickens are broken.  No eggs."  The brother (7 years old) replied, "Wait. Just wait. I'll care for them.  Then they will lay eggs."  The girl replied, "I'll just train my chicken."

(We can learn a lot from the mouth of babes!)
