Undercover Wrestler

Today was an awesome day! My students had me entertained the entire day starting in the first five minutes of our day starting. Yesterday, the IT guy was in the room downloading and installing some software that I wanted on the computer. The kids saw him working on the classroom computer for a good portion of the morning, yesterday. Today one of the children comes in with a wrestling book he brought from home to share that the IT guy at the school, is in fact a wrestler!

This I had to see! I ask to see the picture and the child shows me...



This wrestler surprisingly does look like the IT guy. So much so, that I grabbed the ipad and took a picture to send to the IT guy. Before I got a chance to email the IT guy, it was time for morning prayer. Every morning we have petitions and so this morning one of the children said, "I would like to pray that the next time the IT guy is at the school, he will give me his autograph."

After morning prayer, I sent out an email to the IT guy and also let him know that I have a student who said a prayer hoping to get his autograph.

While the children were in art class, I checked my email. The IT guy replied to my email and said, "That is funny." When I go to get the students, they immediately ask if the IT guy emailed back. I told them yes, but I don't think he is the wrestler. One of the children told me that they still wanted to get his autograph just in case.

At lunch the children, were back in the book reading information about the wrestler. It ended with the children still believing that the IT guy is in fact the wrestler because he is 6' 2" and from our area.

Baby Siblings

At the end of the day, one my students was talking about wanting a baby sister because he only has a brother. The rest of my students seem to have mixed reviews on more siblings. Some want them, others figure they already have little brothers and sisters that "get into their stuff" and do not want more. As a teacher, I love kids, and when the children talk about siblings, I will always ask, "Don't you want another baby in the family?" So, today I learned my lesson on entering in on their conversation of wanting or not wanting more siblings in the family because one of my little girls in the class goes, "Ms. J. I am ready for you to get married and have a baby!"
