Marshmallow Man

Kenny was really good at school today for the second day in a row. After Eppie picked him up, she took both boys to the store to get a special good job treat. Kenny picked out colored mini-marshmallows. Naturally, Nathan needed his own bag as well. When I picked the boys up, Nathan had marshmallow all over his face. He also had it in his hair. There was a chunk, about the size of half a mini-marshmallow, stuck in his hair right about the ear. He kept whimpering and tugging at the chunk to get it out. But the more he tugged with his wet, sticky fingers, the more it stuck. He was really frustrated. It was really adorable to watch. We finally had to cut the chunk out of his hair.

Nathan also said the prayer at dinner. All I got out was, "Time for prayer. Would Kenny..." before Nathan folded his arms and started praying. I could sorta make out "please bless the food." He mumbled on for a few seconds and then said, "Amen!" So cute!!!

Today was the Hundredth Day of School. One of the many reason I prefer to teach young elementary grades is that special days are a blast! With Kenny's help, I decorated a t-shirt with 100 foam sticky letters and arranged them to make words. My class was so excited when they came in this morning! They each made paper glasses with the middle of the zeros on 100 cut out for the eyes. We made fruit loop necklaces, hats (pictured), trail mix with 100 bites (10 pieces of 10 different items), and watched 101 Dalmatians. We did a lot of other things, but the ones I mentioned were the most fun. The kindergarten put on the 100 Day parade with one of our gym teachers at the lead dressed up in a Zero the Hero super costume. They were so cute and my class cheered and yelled for them. I had a good day. And tomorrow I have a meeting at the district so I have a sub for the day. What makes this really great is the meeting will probably be over between noon and one, including the catered lunch!
