"eww...look what I found in my ear!"

I really wish I was better at writing down all the crazy, funny, random things my kids come up with because there is never a dull moment in 1st grade! One of my little friends was "pulling" things out of his ear today...so we had a mini lesson on ear wax and why its important to clean our ears! He was also the one who came to school with his shirt on backwards today. Oh my goodness, I'll just add that to the list of things I didn't think I would have to teach!

Its been an interesting last few weeks, we have testing this week so we've been trying to cram in all those last minute things. As well as covering everything in our classroom. Every word, letter, number, etc must be covered. Its kind of funny that I spend weeks up here in the summer decorating the room and then it all has to be taken down or covered for 2 days of testing...ugh!

We are on the downhill slide for the school year, with only 8 weeks and 2 days left! I think I'm the only one keeping track...my kids haven't caught on yet :-) Its been a good year though, and its gone by so fast! I'm ready for summer. Although it looks like I may be teaching summer school for 4 weeks, its just too good to pass up $25/hr!
