Oh to be 6 years old!

Well I am done with the first-graders today!

They did a better job today, so that was exciting. I talked to them first thing in the morning about having an extra recess and I wrote the word "RECESS" on the board and told them if they had any problems during the day then I'd erase one of the letters and that they had to have at least one left at the end of the day to get their bonus recess. The got down to only the R but we made it! So we had about a 20 minute recess which pretty much makes me a hero in their eyes! :)

I do have one funny story of the day that earns this blog the new tag "too much info" as in stories with too much info! Okay, so it's sometime in the afternoon and the class is cleaning up (or at lease they are supposed to be cleaning up) after the last activity. During this time, this one little boy comes up to me and says, "I don't go poop at the school bathrooms. I don't 'cuz there are too many germs!" To which I replied, "Oh." Then another boy who happens to be listening adds, "I know there are germs so I just put toilet paper on the seat before I sit down. " Then the first boy replies with, "Yeah, well I still don't go poop at school." Ooooookay! Well, that was enlightening gentlemen! Thanks for sharing. haha

So that's about all of interest to write about today. I hope everyone enjoyed learning a bit more about the 6-year-old mind than you ever cared to!
