2nd year of 2nd grade

So it is my 2nd year of 2nd grade - - the end of the 2nd week! We're already off to a great a silly start! I asked the sweet little cutie pies to think on something - - we do this wonderful thing called think-pair-share . . .if you train them, then when visitors come in, you just tell them to think-pair-share, and they remain quiet and occupied. So they think on the topic, then they share it with a partner - think-pair-share. So we were learning and practicing what to do . . . . . so I gave them the wonderful topic of what not. I had one little guy raise his hand - Arthur, what a cute little name, no? Anyway, he raises his hand.
"Yes, Arthur?"
"Well, I forgot to think about what you told us to think about. I thought of something else."
Curious, "Okay, well what did you think about?"
"Abraham Lincoln."
"Really? Abraham Lincoln? Why?" incredulous.
"I don't know, I was just thinking about Abraham Lincoln."

They are so randomly sweet. There's more stories to tell, but there you go . . . . that's it to start off this year.

Well, and a note to my lovely ones from last year . . . they all shout and hug and say hello and miss me . . . . how fun, no?
