My First Tooth

My kids are writing their experiences about loosing their first tooth. At the end of one little guy's story he writes, "It came out, so it was night and I hid it under my pillow, then a tooth fairy came out and gave me a 10 dollar bill and it was a miracle!"

Math

The math problem read:

"One egg carton holds 12 eggs. How many cartons are you able to fill with 60 eggs?"

Answer:

"A huge carton"

Do you have a boyfriend?

While I was out keeping watch at recess a few of my girls gathered around to talk. One little girl out of the blue asked, "Miss Brog, do you have a boyfriend?" to which I replied, "Well, what do you think?" Without skipping a beat another little girl answered, "No, you are way too busy and have way to many meetings to have a boyfriend!"

Fall is here..

One of my darlings met me with this phrase today, "Miss Brog my feets are cold!"

I am most proud of....part II.

I was finishing grading journals today, when I came across this one...

"I am most proud of that I can sing and dance. Some people can't at all cuz they are in wheelchairs and can't talk. That would suck if I couldn't cuz I am the creative one in the family. I just dance and sing when I can and when I have free time to dance and sing. I just love it, it is very fun."

I don't know why this pulled at my heartstrings. I guess it is just so profound for a fourth grader. I don't think she realized how deep this really is. When was the last time we were grateful to dance and sing? What are you grateful for today?

What I am most proud of...

Today the journal prompt was, "I am most proud of..." one little girl wrote,

"I am most proud of my talent which is jump rope and soccer, hopscotch, running and I am not proud of how short I am."
