From the mouth of 3rd graders..

So for the past few weeks school has been going on and I have gotten to know my kids pretty well and I have discovered that the minds of third graders are well... interesting ...

1. Mrs. Nelson you are having a BOY bc only GIRLS have BOY babies

2. Mrs. Nelson I couldnt turn in my spelling contract bc my little brother peed on it

3. Mrs. Nelson my THIRD dad moved out this morning because my mom said he didnt make dinner.

4. Mrs. Nelson We all have a boyfriend (4 girls) his name is stuart... .. (one boy four girls... hmmm )... i asked them how that works... they replied... I dont know he just gave us his number

5. Mrs. Nelson if I had a key to the school i would sneak into the cafeteria and eat all the food (completely random comment in the middle of a lesson)

6. Mrs. Nelson, my mom said i CAN only do hw on Mondays and Thursdays

7. Mrs. Nelson, my dad says pregnant women can get ornery easy

8. Mrs. Nelson the reason why I was bad today is bc i forgot my pill this morning

9. Phone call from a concerned mother: Mike (name change) told my daughter to wear something sexy to school ...

10. Mrs Nelson I can't sit in the front (boy who was recently moved to the front of the class because of talking) bc i cant see the board

11. Mrs. Nelson instead of skipping recess, (says the boy who had his recess taken away for not reading) can't I just tell my mom I wasn't reading and she will yell at me?

12. Kenzie ( name change) why are you not reading (they were supposed to be silent reading while i worked with groups)? - her reply- I already read last night for 40 min.. and i only have to read 20 min a day... SO.... I am done...

13. Mrs. Nelson can we line up in Alphabetical order so i can be first (her last name started with the letter N)

14. Boy asking for hw for the week bc his grandpa died and he was going to his funeral... Me: i am sorry he died.. Him: i am happy he died bc now we dont ahve to go there for dinner on sunday anymore OR christmas


I am sure there are more... but my brain hurts from trying to remember them... and i am sure there will be more.. all and all i like my job.. and the kids..... only thing i would change is pee boy and his lack of control of his bladder,.. and transfer cry at anything boy to another state

Stolen thunder--but i am over it

Russell apparently got sick of waiting for me to update my blog... or he was looking for entertainment while we were at my family's house in cedar... so he did an update on his blog about Korbin's birthday and since i am much too lazy to make another one you can go to his site - russiferandfam@blogspot.com to see some obviously cute pic of my kid.

School has now been going on for 4 weeks.. and I am thinking i am getting the hang of things.. and feel like my head is above water for the moment. I am loving it... Most the kids are cute- aside from pee in my pants EVERY day boy and cry if you look at me the wrong way boy. But out of a class of 26 .. only haveing two kids with "issues" is pretty good right? I even have some of my sub plans made for when i pop (which is in less than 8 weeks thank you!)
