Love Bugs

I wasn't full teaching this week.  It was a nice break from the hectic life of me trying to rally in my 4th graders from changing classes, marking charts of kids that aren't prepared/talking/throwing objects across the classroom/forget their homework.  So I decided to brainstorm how to describe each of my class periods and this is what I came up with.

My 1st period are my Patty Procrastinators.  I race the halls every week trying to gather all of the assignments that they haven't turn in on time.  Their behavior charts resemble a mosaic of colorful "2's" and "3's." 

My second period class are my hardest workers.  They are good at following directions the first time and still "aim to please." If they could receive a TAKS score for their effort, they would have commended performance.

My 3rd period class are my frequent flyers.  IF they earned points for how many times they came up for help, they could earn a trip to the North Pole to if Santa is real.  Ironically, this is the cream of the crop group.  They constantly question everything.  You name it.  They will ask it.

Attention Getters.My fourth period class is filled with class clowns.  They are the quirkiest and most theatrical group.  The class ratio is 13 boys and 7 girls.  I often find the boys desperately trying to to get my my attention

One of my favorite parts of my career is the statement of fashion trends.  In our 4th grade, we have it all.  We have the t-shirt/jean short trend, we have the sunday dress and running shoes look, we got the more barrettes in one's hair than someone can count look, we have the socks that are pulled up to the calf look and even the argyle sweater and wind pants look.  I love it.  They are so confidence in their own fashion ways that they could care less what everyone thinks one of 4th graders.

One of my 4th graders yesterday asked me if my boyfriend's name was J Crew. I told him yes.
