Squirrely

Boy my kiddos were squirrely today. Sigh, it made for a day of constantly redirecting. We only got one marble in the jar for not blurting (that means there were lots of people talking all day). Hopefully tomorrow they'll be more focused.

I am impressed we squeezed in meetings for all four spelling groups, my three Friday Daily 5 meetings, my normal three Tuesday Daily 5 people, and my handwriting group. It was a busy morning.

Kids have been bringing cereal to school for snack (in the morning and after school before basketball). It's a fine snack, except these kids are SO messy it gets everywhere. Then they don't watch where they step and it gets ground into the carpet. Today we had a number of spills so the classroom floor looks like a mess. One kid opened his desk after school and discovered the whole bottom of his desk is covered in Marshmallow Matey's cereal, courtesy of a classmate who thought he'd want a handy snack.

On the plus side, we have a bunch of fun things on the docket this week: Food Fear Factor, all-school bowling, and the Lakefield basketball tournament.
