Almost-christmas-break-ants-in-our-pants joys...

22) This entire week of me having to repeat "Please stop dancing." "Why are you talking?" "Have you done any work today?" "Does this look like the playground?"  or "Why are you repeating every word I say like an announcer over a loud speaker?" at least 94 times per day. My cute crew is ready for Christmas! They are squirmy Christmas worms.

23) A game of "Sumo-cation"--a dice rolling game where you build 3-digit factors and multiply them by each other using the multiplication algorithm. I taught them "Multiplication wrestling" to master 2- digit multiplication...so Sumo is naturally the next level of intensity. Can you tell I did not invent the new name? :) The goal of the game is not only to get the highest product (the obvious goal), but also to see how high and far you can throw the dice. And how loud you can be.

And how crazy you can drive Miss Rachel.


24) Kiddos who come joyfully to school, even though their ridiculous coughs remain. Honestly, I don't know how a couple of them are still keepin' on by the end of the day. They are way tougher than me.


25) Cute blonde dude telling me that Mary prepared for Jesus' birth by going to Bethlehem to "find Joseph".
    MR: Wait...you do know that Mary was betrothed to Joseph before she even know about Jesus, right? Remember, they traveled to Bethlehem together to be enrolled? We have gone over this many times. 
   Dude: Oh right. She didn't go there to find a husband. Maybe you should do that, Miss Rachel. It might work for you.
