The third graders have decided the past few days that it is a fun idea to hide from the teacher before class starts. This morning, Ludwin was piled in among the bookbags, Yeny fit neatly between some large cardboard boxes and the table, and Mimi hid rather conspicuously behind drink boxes next to the microwave. Now, considering there are only five of them in the class, the noticeable shrinking of class size was quite telling. Nevertheless, they find it amusing. We'll see how many more days it lasts. Surprisingly, there have been no more visits from Lui the Iguana.
The last few days we have talked about the letter R--the R Bully, according to our language book. The third graders have really gotten into the R-Bully cheer. They stand in formation, strike various poses, and shout the words loud and clear: "R is a bully, he likes his own way, he tells all the other vowels just what to say! A-R says R! O-R says or! All the other vowels say, 'Er, er...Yes, sir!'" It's quite entertaining.
My other favorite is when they get into reciting the Bible chapter of the year. Having extra time in my second grade math class one day, I asked them to stand up and recite Psalm 91. Those 17 little voices really blew the decibel level through the roof. My ears were hurting! But they sure knew their verses. :)
Tomorrow is Cowboy Day. Yeehaw!

The favorite thing in my day? Finding a new post on your blog. They make me smile every time. I would love to hear those second graders say their verses! Hope you can find your third grade class tomorrow - sounds like they like to trick the teacher.
Keep up the good work!
Love ya,
Mama
