Highlights in the L.C.

A few cute highlights from today:

1. We were playing blurt (A board game where they holler out words when I give adjectives describing them!) and my second grader says, "I can't think of it, but it's at the TOP of my tongue!" :-)

2. While we were playing, a second grade sibling of one of my students brought me Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book #4 to borrow. He's not even in my class! How SWEET is that?

3. I came up with a saying a few years back that has been passed on in each of my classes. When someone is taking TOO LONG for their turn, one person leads by saying, "Today would be good." And everyone else follows with, "NOW WOULD BE BETTER!" :-) YES, I taught them that!

4. I have a student that CONSTANTLY talks. You would have to see it to believe me, but TalkingKid is ALWAYS TALKING. I love the kid, he is one of my sweetest ones, but today during game time he was wearing me out. So I said, "Can you please give me ONE MINUTE of silence?" He set his timer, and the race was on. I figured after one minute, he would start back up. But, after eleven minutes, he finally talked again. That is literally the longest this kid has been quiet, and he was grinning ear-to-ear. I told him his new nickname would be SILENTBOY. :-) At lunch his teacher and I talked and he said that Silentboy was EXTREMELY excited about how quiet he had been. Oh, and before you go thinking I'm a mean, rotten, horrible teacher, he was our winner for the game we were playing at the time! He was SO PROUD of himself! Cute, huh?

5. I was the winner of our Apples to Apples game, so everyone was rewarded with a snack! :-) They LOVED that!

So now my day is done. I have quite a bit of homework to do this weekend BUT I get to drive tomorrow and Sunday Night! Woop! Love. It. That will motivate me to get my work done.

Two weeks from tonight we begin Christmas Break. Not that I'm counting or anything. *wink*

Life.
Is.
Good.
