Jokes of the Day: Week of March 24-27, 2015

This was our first week back from Spring Break!  After a day off for students on Monday, we got back into the swing of things on Tuesday and were moving and grooving really quickly.  Welcome to 4th quarter!

The jokes this week come from my friend and teaching neighbor, Ms. Turken, as well as a first grader in Ms. Lewis’ class (LB), and one last one from jokesbykids.com (which is my original go-to place for jokes when this whole thing started.  Ok, let’s go!

Tuesday

Why did the bird go to the hospital?

He needed a “tweet”ment! 🙂

(Thanks, Ms. Turken!)

Wednesday

What did the turkey say to the crooked table?

Wobble, wobble! 🙂

(another good one, Ms. Turken!)

Thursday

With what animal would you never want to play cards?

A cheetah! 🙂

We thought this one was really funny!  AND it came from another first grade friend in Ms. Lewis’ class.  So fun!

Friday

What kind of key do you need to open a banana?

A mon-key!

Ha, ha, ha, ha!!! Hope your Spring is off to a happy start–ours certainly is!!

Have any jokes to share?  Leave them for us in the comments! 🙂

Robinson has GRIT! (and drums!)

On one of the last days before our Spring Break started, we were visited by a music teacher from a nearby university, and some of his students.  Best of all, they brought DRUMS with them!  Our kiddos were able to learn about the drums, about the music you could play with them and then they got to try it out, too!

And then, when I came to pick up my class, they asked for teachers to get in on the action, too!  I’m so glad my friend Peyton was up there for that round with me, because he definitely helped me know what to do.  That rhythm was harder to follow than you’d think!  Way to go, Robinson musicians–Robinson does indeed have GRIT!

Have you heard the one about the frog who broke his leg?

He was very un-hoppy!

I Hope MY Teeth Don’t Fall Out!

I am pretty sure that we are up to tooth #16 lost in Rm. 202! And yes, I’m starting to get worried that MY teeth will start falling out!   This week has been especially fruitful in the tooth-loosing venue, and yesterday was no different.  C.J. lost one during Read Aloud and so got to join the Lost Tooth Club in the Nurse’s office!

And you know, I’m expecting to hear about another one from the weekend–Amelia was working really hard on a loose one today (big bites in her apple at lunch!).  CRAZY stuff in first grade these days!  I’d forgotten how exciting being 7YO is!!

Jokes of the Day–Week of February 23-27, 2015

Wednesday

This joke was courtesy of Ellen, but in honor of my friend C.J. who I KNEW would laugh at it!  He did, and so did many other friends, including my 7YO.  Gotta love it when I can make those kiddos snicker–they’re hard nuts to crack!

Why shouldn’t you shower with a Pokemon around?

They might Pikachu. 🙂

Peyton submitted this one, and when he told it to us, he even used an accent!  Great delivery, kiddo!

Well you better go catch it!

We better get “quackin’!”

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that we start our days around here with a giggle.  Sets the tone for a great time together. 🙂

 

 

 

Toothless First Graders!!–We’re Losing Count Around Here!

Man, oh man–our teeth are falling out left and right around here.  It’s like those movies you have about losing all of your teeth, except this is for real!  Well and that it’s a normal part of first grade life.

Like I said in the title, I really have lost count with what number we’re on.  Here’s what I know. I took this amazingly cute picture yesterday:

CAM01657Ok, so JK looks a little silly, but he had to show you what happened–he lost both of his two front teeth at the SAME TIME!!  What are the chances?  Peyton showed off his new hole on the bottom.  And THEN he told me how special this tooth was and how the Tooth Fairy didn’t come yet because he had to write a note to her to ask her not to take his tooth away because it was his first one and then…WAIT–what?  Your very first tooth?  Well then you deserve your very own picture, buddy! Say cheese!

CAM01658And to top it off, right after this, he went to get one of those little tooth necklaces.  Cuz you just gotta. 🙂

But we weren’t finished yet!  Remember how Evan lost a front tooth last week that had been hanging on for a while?  Well, the other one was just about done so I sent him down to check out getting it pulled out.  ANOTHER lost tooth!!

CAM01660This place is just too much fun!  Happy Tooth-Losing, Rm. 202 friends!!  🙂
