Do you ever find yourself using words or sayings that the kids say? They say them so often that one day you catch yourself saying that word or phrase and then think to yourself, "Did I just really say that?"
Here are a couple I have caught myself using...
1. One student likes to say, "Roger, Roger!" after you ask him or the class if they understand. Now I walk around saying to kids, "Roger, Roger?" Instead of asking them do you understand.
2. An invented word this year is, smartical. Meaning, you are so smart. Yes, guilty of telling the kids that they are so smartical when they respond with a great answer.
3. Last year the phrase of the year was, "Are you cereal?" instead of "Are you serious?" I once caught myself saying this one time, had to put and end to it quickly!
You know, sometimes you can't help it. You are with these kids for 6 hours, they begin to rub off on you. I just hope I rub off onto them more than they are rubbing onto me. (ok that sounded wrong, but you get the gist)

Unleashing of the Wild...
They were running around, screaming, like wild uncaged animals, enjoying the first signs of spring today. They have been cooped up all winter long like hibernating animals.
It hit 65 degrees today! Ah, it is so good to have some warmth back into the air.
I was in my room during lunch today and took a moment to watch my kids run wild on the playground. Ok well at first I was spying on my kids, who decided not to listen when I told them, "If you come with a jacket to school, the jacket stays on during recess!" It was still only 54 during recess time. I could see the pile of jackets on the one and only bench next to the playground.
Then I spied one of my students at the very top playground platform, still dressed in winter jacket, gloves, scarf, hat, and earmuffs over the hat. At least someone still listened, even though it was a bit much for the weather. He was having a great time playing by himself, winter garb and all.
Spring- don't tease us here and go back to being cold! We like you, please come out and play!
