third grade happenings

my little third graders have been busy recently:

• last friday morning before i walked into my room, i noticed that my light was on and someone was in there. i walked in to find one of my students in there. he got to school a little earlier than usual, so he decided to put the chairs down from all of the desks. i was so impressed and made a big deal of it to the class whenever school started.
• not to be outdone, this morning i walked in to find another boy (principal's son-should've known) doing the same thing. he even took it a step further and re-straightened the desks.
• i didn't know this was teacher's appreciation week! i got a cute basket with m&ms and a notepad with stickers. it's way cute. i also got a lotion/body spray set. yay for presents!
• on a side subject, i've been reading the five love languages for singles (no comments, please) and from the reading i have figured out that my primary love language is gifts. not even kidding you. i love to get gifts. no wonder i feel so loved at this moment.
• i totally forgot that the kids had an extra rehearsal todayfor their music program coming up. with an extra 30 minutes of not having class, we still managed to finish all of our work 20 minutes early. i still have no clue how that happened.
• guess what we're studying in health? A BALANCED DIET! and to think that we were talking about the food pyramid while i sipped on my dr. pepper.
• that's all for now. i'm tired.
