It was during the end of the day when the kids were working on that crossword puzzle that a few boys were kind of goofing around. One of them had gotten a fake red rose from somewhere. I started hearing whispered voices saying every so often "teacher". They weren't trying to get my attention, they were talking about me. So I turned around to see what they were up to when one of the boys come strolling up with the rose clamped between his teeth like he's about to do the tango with all of the others trailing behind him. He walks up and says to me in his Spanish accent something along the lines of "let's dance", and reaches out to grab my hands. Oh my gosh it was just so funny! But of course not a good idea AT ALL to be seen with a student like that, so I'm trying not to laugh and gently push him away. He persisted for a moment, grabbing both of my wrist ands swaying himself back in forth before he and the others couldn't contain their laughter any longer and drifted away. I then saw some of them dancing together before I finally had them put the rose away. Oh my.
Anyways, on to today! I went back the the first grade class I did most of last week for the afternoon. It was super easy. When I got there I took them to recess. After recess we went to reading buddies (which was the class from yesterday), then they had music and PE. So I only had them for about 30 minutes. Some still managed to be little pills, but most of them were good. No funny stories for today though.
Now onto the 3 day weekend! Only 14 days of school left this year, can you believe it?

A rose in his teeth, I love it! Too much "So You Think You Can Dance" for that kiddo. Glad your day to day was a breeze. Have a good weekend. - Rhonda
I can't believe you forgot to mention that story last night. I'm thinking he was more likely watching "Dancing with the Stars." That's where he could have seen some pretty racy Tangos, Sambas, etc. Glad you were able to fight them off. Enjoy the weekend!
Love you!!! MOM
