I'm not going to lie, last week was awful. As the first full week of school, we had more behavior issues than I care to think about. I really needed that 3 day weekend and I think that the kids did too. Because we came back today and it was awesome. No kidding, I was like super impressed (for the most part) with my 7 and 8 year old's abilities to follow rules, procedures, and directions. There was productive quiet like I've only dreamed of and times where they could talk, ask questions, and be silly too. Now I'm not holding my breath for another near perfect day tomorrow, but it is SO NICE to know that it actually can happen.
On that note, here are some hilariously funny excerpts from their journals last week (that I was just too busy/mad to type our last week)...
The journal prompt was, "write about what it would be like if you did not have a nose."
"I couldent snort and I would look difrint."
"I cudind bret."
"I will be unhpey if i have a nose i will tak fune."
"You could not see it. You could not wear gassis. You could not smell."
" You could not smell anething. I would miss the smell of pie"
"If i did not have a nose I would get a new nose. And i would mk shr it is prfekt."
"If I didnt have a nose I wouldn't be avle to smell or to talk regler like eneone and it would be sad real sad I would get picked on by my brother and my brother and my other brother and by my friend's and probly evryone else but that wont stop me from geting fiends!" <-- I think we have another Rambler folks!
"I woled screm like AHHHHH! in Pain. And that whold feel weird."
"I cud not smel the smok"
"If I did not noes I could not sniff enevything and that be bad because i could not sniff candy."
"If you diden't have a nose then some parts of your boty wudent exist. and you wudent smell."
"If I did not have a nose. I wood die."
And for the encore... Would you kiss a frog? Tell why or why not.
"if i was a priness and a prince turned into a frog i wuald kiss him then he wauld turn back in to a prince."
"I would not kiss a frog beacse I can't find frog's And they are small and I do'nt whant to."
"No I would not kiss a frog becuese it wouldn't even in to a prince not even a frog prince. and there slimy and grows and wet probly. and they go on lily pades in ponds, and in lakes and there are grows things in there. so no! cuase there very very grows!"
Here's to another (short) week with my 25 little cherubs. Wish me luck!
Until next time...
Peace, love, and frog lips,
Jayna
