Summer Time Pictures

Here's a couple of pictures I've taken so far this summer. Enjoy!

A picture is worth a thousand words...

Funny stuff

The kids have been cracking me up lately!

One boy was showing his show and tell the other day, and he pulled out two different toys. The kids were in awe. He boasted "Yeah, I have a lots of toys" and of course the kids were saying they did too, but his reply was this. "I have ten thousand, eight hundred, ten thousand, eight hundred, ten thousand, eight hundred, ten thousand, eight hundred, ten thousand eight hundred." I think he wanted to get the point across that he had many many toys!

Yesterday, a little girl was sitting at the desk working on her paper. She was telling someone "I'm gonna be the hottest girl in the talent show!"

Another little girl was done with her work. She seemed to be pondering something. All of the sudden she says "Teacher, I think when I get home I'm gonna eat a pear!" I said "you're going to eat a pear?" She said "yeah, they make me go craaaazzy!"

A little guy in my class today told me
"Teacher, that scared me out of death!"

I always tell the kids they are "rockin' my world" if they are doing something exceptionally well. One kid always asks me "Teacher, am I rockin' your world?"

Love is in the air.

Look how cute, his arm is around her while they are eating snacks today.

First Day of School

I thought you might me curious to know how the first day of school went. I think all classes went great! Today (and yesterday) for the most part, we just worked on the right way to be in preschool.

Here are some key phrases we use during school. Ask your child if they can show you what they mean.

*Sit on your pockets:

(a nice way to say "sit on your fanny" with your bottom flat on the floor)

*Criss-cross-applesauce and hugs with your arms: (Katie has her arms folded, her eyes on the teacher, and her legs are criss-crossed)

*Marshmallow cheeks: (Taylor is doing a perfect representation of marshmallow cheeks)

*Quiet Coyote:

(quiet coyotes always listen, never talk)

We are also working on raising our hands if we need to tell the teacher something:

(notice that Karlee and Lizzi are both raising their hands AND doing marshmallow cheeks.) Way to go girls!

***The stars of this post are the pm class. Don't worry if your class isn't featured today, at some point it will be! For more first day pictures, see the next post. It contains ALL three classes.
