You Think?

Contrel (3rd grade) looks very similar to his two younger brothers—who look just like each other because they are twins!

MR. BOWERS: Hey Contrel, how can I tell you apart from your two younger brothers?
CONTREL: Because they’re idiots.

Kindergarten Field Day 2010!!!

I got to run the parachute!!! It was so COLD in there!!! I wasn't sweating at all!!! And I was able to use my quiet voice all day long!!!

Charles's Tree

For three years now Charles (5th Grade) has been checking on his lunch box stuck in the tree out by my afternoon patrol duty spot. The other day, it was gone. We thought it would be there forever. I mean, it made it through Hurricane Rita. Now, there were some men out there with ladders working on the building next to the tree, so we decided that they must have gotten hungry.

In a related story, a bird was having trouble getting out of the stairwell in the back courtyard and Charles took off his shirt (he was wearing two) and gently grabbed the bird. When he took it outside to let it go, it flew into the same tree that held his lunch box for so long. On the way back to class, Charles spotted a caterpillar on the ceiling and wanted to help it too. I told him, "No, but you could feed it to the bird."

He declined.

He answered, "A really fat person."
