In other news...I need to add something to my list of things I never thought I'd say:
Your nose is not an all you can eat buffet. OMG, y'all. This group of kindergartners are the worst nose pickers I've ever seen in my life. It's awful. At any given moment there are about 2 or 3 kids digging for gold. I can't handle it. So today I very casually and straight-facedly informed them that their nose is not an all you can eat buffet. The straight face went away as soon as I saw my assistant shaking with laughter. But I managed to keep it together enough for the kids to know I was serious. Because I was. It has to stop. Especially since one school in our district was shut down for two days last week due to illness. We can't be spreading germs around. And we can't be grossing out the teacher. My hands are raw from overuse of hand sanitizer. Maybe my little chat today will work. Maybe. But probably not. They just love to pick...
And because you're still here after a yucky booger story, here's a little freebie! We've been working on rounding in second grade and so many of my friends are really struggling with finding the decade numbers that a given number is between. We're going to do this tomorrow to give them practice in figuring out the two decade numbers and rounding to the nearest ten.
Hope you have a wonderful, booger free rest of the week!

You need to get your hands on I'm a Booger, Treat Me with Respect. I once had a kid that would dig until his nose bled and he'd still eat it. Yuck!! I feel your pain.

The other day I had to say, "Your arm is not for sucking!" I thought of you. :)
The booger thing is huge in my class this year too! I don't even try to be nice about it anymore. It's all "GET YOUR FINGER OUT OF YOUR NOSE! DO NOT EAT THAT! GET A TISSUE AND THEN SANITIZE!!!!" Uuuuggghhh.
Oh My Little Classity Class
Hahaha... I think we all know exactly what you are feeling! I love it when my second graders... yes 8 year olds... try to hide it by putting their hand up like I don't know what they are doing... I am sorry, but seriously... it is gross! I had a long talk with them about how "boogers are nothing but pollution from the air..." They all laughed and what not, but geez... go get a tissue! Thanks for the freebie! We are reviewing some before starting fractions!
Thanks again and thanks for the laugh!!

I think we all have a list of things we thought we would never have to say. You made me laugh so hard I cried because I have said some of the same things.
I have some that LOVE the nurse's office so I have to say, "No one goes to the nurse unless you are bleeding a lot or on fire".

Thanks for the freebie...where are you at? It's been rainy here in Southern CA which is kinda unusual. We have hardly had any rain this year so I'm happy for it. :o)

Wow, I can't believe how warm the weather has been for you guys back in the midwest. We are having rain and they are calling for snow tonight here in Utah. I hope our cold front doesn't cause more tornadoes out your way this week. Miss your guts,
