Things that shouldn't happen.

Today was insane. It can be summed up with this story:

We are very fortunate to receive fresh fruits/veggies from a grant a few times a week.

Today was mini carrots.

We took a few moments to enjoy this snack [with ranch, taking the health out of it].

Not one, but TWO of my kids begin to SHARPEN their  mini carrots with their [banned from my room] handheld pencil sharpeners.

Obviously they got ratted out.

Most of my kids have my back.

Not sure what the next three days will bring me. I'm unexplainably jealous of those of you who finished up on Friday.

  3. Hi Meghan:
    Sharpening the carrots!! After 30 years, a lot of things have been sharpened in my room. Carrots have not been among them. Let's keep this between us, because I am SURE if they knew that carrots were a possibility, they would all like to try it!

  8. Sharpening carrots!!! That is funny but definitely I would not laugh if it was my class!!

    And I laughed when I read that your kids have your back. I always tell people that there is no loyalty in my room. It doesn't matter if Bobby is your bestest best friend ever - if he is chewing gum, you tell on him!!! So funny.

    Marvelous Multiagers!

  9. That is toooooo funny! I am also glad to see someone else who "bans" things from their room....those handheld pencil sharpeners always seem to fall apart and dump everything all over the floor RIGHT.ON.THE.WAY.TO.THE.BUS!! Then I'm left picking up the shavings by myself so that my custodian {who is too good to me} doesn't get mad at me!!! Never fails, so they are banned!
