Nibblers

Let me start out by saying this has been one crazy week. On Monday I had 4 children go home with lice and some already at home with it. Yea I know lovely right? But hey yea for me I have somehow managed to miss the lice train again. (I have never had it in my entire life). Anyways that afternoon I have to get some stuff done so I stayed after school. It was crazy so I am in our closet at school digging through our milk crate when a mouse comes out onto my hand, yes that is correct I did say on my hand. It then ran across my other hand needless to say I totally acted like a girl I flipped out screaming and shaking my hands. I was freaked out!!!! It CRAWLED on me. By this time it was well after school so there were only a few people left in the building however the ones that were left came out and we all just starring at me till I could tell them what happened and Sarah and Mira where just laughing. So after I was done freaking out I then too started laughing at the whole thing. So Sarah is being a fantastic help and grading papers for me when she looks up and says "um Jenny... this answer would be wrong right?" I looked at the map test paper and realized what she was talking about. This child had written . "This map is a f***ed map!" I was like what???? So I call Mira over to check this out and I had a bag of cookies on my table that I had been eating (only a few, thank goodness) and I got one out to eat and I noticed that it had a little black spot on it so I hand it to Mira grossed out and they both laughed that it had mouse poop on it. That was then my clue to go home. The next day we saw him again so we named him Nibblers. Well this morning he decided to curl up in a rug in my classroom and a child went to the sink (where the rug is) and stepped on the rug and squished and said "Mrs. Mc the rug is squishie" I was like its alright, not thinking anything about Nibblers. Well not two minutes later did another student say "Mrs. Mc there is a rat back here" I am thinking great. I walk over to where he is and there is Nibblers squished to death. My class was ummmmmm not sure there is a word to describe their reactions. So rest in peace you stupid mouse.

The week has just been crazy like that. I haven't even made it home before 7 and as late as 10 this week. Bailey is suffering the worse. Bry has induction week stuff so he is out every night and I have been late a school and parent teacher conferences which is a story in itself and we are having a gospel meeting this week at church that last till Sunday night so. Tonight I am going out with Steph so that will be fun times.
My parent teacher conferences went well with the exception of one parent. This parent is younger than me and he wanted me to explain to him why 5+4=9, 4+5=9, 9-4=5, and 9-5=4. So I did then he wanted to know why I was teaching that to a second grader. That he was in a dummy math class so doesn't remember learning that. Then after explaining that he went on to tell me that he ask 4 12th graders to do that math and they couldn't. I was like they couldn't do addition and subtration??? He was like well they said they are just learning it this year. I was like addition and subtraction???? So then he moved on to why I was teaching social studies to second graders and that I should make them be able to identify and label the 7 continents and 4 oceans. I was like it is a framework mandiated by the state that says a second grader will be able to do this. He was like that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard by this time is is getting loud and I am pretty much dumbfounded and Mira scoots over and says the same thing I have said and he is not liking the answer still so he gets up and is like school is stupid.Um I was like whoa weridO!!!! We all got a huge laugh out it. Some entertainment for the evening. Our parent teacher conferences are in our cafe so everyone heard. It was def funny.

Anyhoos I've rambled on and on so have a good one everyone. :0)
