let's stop pretending and be practical

Well, I thought I was going to be practical...

On the first day of school my students told me they liked my shoes. My response was, "thank you I'll probably wear them all year long."

We've had 5 days of school now, and I've worn 5 different pairs of shoes.

it's delicious!

Bob thought this was funny, and for all of the Jim Gaffigan fans out there you might have a giggle at this as well. If you don't know what I am talking about check this out first.

Jim Gaffigan's Hot Pockets

I was grading the paragraphs I had assigned for homework: Write 5 sentences describing your favorite meal. I ran across this one. Written just like this except the parentheses are my editing.

"My favorite meal is Hot pockets. (I like them) Because their good, and spicey hot. But they don't have diffrent (kinds). The'ry only pepperonie. Thats what I don't like about it."



I guess this child is deprived and has only had the pepperoni kind. Maybe that's the only kind his mom buys, I don't know.

"Hot Pockets"

I'm afraid this can't last forever

It's been an extraordinarily fun summer. Unfortunately it is coming to an end! I've been up at school working on my classroom all week. I still have a lot to get together, but I like skipping to the fun things... like decorating. Here is the bulletin board I worked on outside my room today.

I wonder how far I can make this bulletin board go? Last year I started with "Swing into Kindergarten" changed the next one to "Wild about Kindergarten" and then made it "Wild about Thanksgiving". However, I may need to take ALL of the words down each time I change the bulletin board theme this year since unlike kindergartners, 4th graders CAN read!

On Monday my school district will officially dictate my comings and goings once again. Then on Thursday the students get to join us. Also Bob will start year 2 of pharmacy school on the 24th.

how does she know...

I love it when my husband makes the bed =)

Makes a happy wifey too.
