Last night, while at Target, I discovered Easter candy was 50% off. I am sure that the older ladies back near the candy thought I was odd, but I didn't really care. Candy on sale can be gold for a teacher, especially a teacher that gives out jelly beans & M&M's for almost anything! I loaded up my cart with six or seven bags of jelly beans & M&M's and called it a night!
This morning when my kids arrived, I asked them what they wanted me to put in our bubble gum machine - jelly beans or M&M's. The consensus was jelly beans, that is until several children asked why they should get their agendas signed if they are getting candy they hate. So, I decided that we would put M&M's in the bubble gum machine & we would win jelly beans for answering CRCT questions correctly. That was just the beginning of our morning!
Around 8:45, my students had visitors. A second grade class decided to join us for CRCT practice. I was so proud of my little guys! They answered the first grade questions and the second grade questions with ease. On top of that, we quit doing CRCT practice and decided to do our journal writing for the day. If you had walked into my classroom, you would have never guessed there were two classes in the room. The second grade class continued to do OAS on the Activboard and my class easily transitioned into their journals. I have tons of funny stories about my kids, but lately I am so proud of them that I find myself wanting to focus more on their sweet hearts more than the funny comments they make.
However, they have come up with several funny things over the past few weeks so here's a list of the Top Three Moments for the past few weeks.
