Here is what I see-
At this point...I'm laughing so hard. I try and find out who did it. I was convinced one of my students did it and my class was convinced I did it. We are having so much fun with this that in walks my principal. He asks what is going on and I tell him that my critters are reading and we all thought it was funny! He laughs, says only in my room, and leaves to start the pledge.
In the meantime no one says who did it. I know I didn't! A student walks in from using the bathroom to ask what was going on. I told him, and he says that he did it when I was out in the hall. He said that the class critters, as we call them, liked that book the last time he read it in the library so he thought they would like to read it again! After that we all laughed even louder!
I had to share this as this is what happens in my classroom a lot. Laughter is the best way to reach children and sneak in learning...don't you think so too???
And don't forget my little giveaway is going on until Easter Sunday. Click on the picture to go and enter!
You are right Tracey, laughter is great in a classroom - especially if the kids get to laugh at the teacher. I have no pride so I am fine with my gang tricking me, telling a nonsense joke, or just hearing them giggle when I (once again)lose my glasses, shoes, mouse,etc.

Thanks Joanne! A smile a day keeps classroom boredom away! :)
DeleteI love to laugh with my students, I wish I could laugh more this year. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you aren't laughing too much this year. At least we are in the final stretch of the year, right???
DeleteCompletely agree! We laugh LOTS in our classroom. I have a poster that says "a day without laughter is a day wasted".
ReplyDeleteI also love that the animals are "reading" a book with an animal on it.
Enjoy!

I know...a moose reading a book with a bear on the cover...heeheehee! :)
DeleteToo cute! I so agree with having laughter in the classroom, I am in the middle of parent interviews and I am proud to say that every parent....so far... has said that their child is really enjoying being in my class and is having so much fun, and wow, they are really learning! Great way to get them engaged.
