Good Conclusion

This week began with a day to honor past presidents, and a day off school. Still, we talked about the different presidents this week, their contributions, and why some are more famous than others, which led to the following comment.

"Miss Husbands, Abraham Lincoln shouldn't have gone to that theater. That was a bad choice."

When it comes down to it, yes. Yes it was. Gotta love the conclusions of kids.

These Girls were SO THANKFUL. . .

for Justin Bieber.  Seriously.

In my classes the week of Thanksgiving, we did a writing/art project on things that we were thankful for.  The students made lists with groups, and then we ended up listing probably around 100 different things on the board together.  I was so touched that many of my students chose to add things like the temple, Heavenly Father, families, my body, etc.  This little group of 7-turning-eight year olds are just so in tune with the spirit sometimes.

Anyway, several of these girls have acquired Bieber Fever.  Look at a few of these gems:

Young Love

"Teacher, did you know that Sam loves me?"

I stopped and looked at her.   "He does? I didn't know that. Tell me about it."

"Well, I know he loves me because he gave me a stuffed animal for Valentine's Day, and he didn't give that to the other girls."

"Sounds special."

"Yeah, so I went and bought him a giant candy at the store and gave it to him.  He liked it.  Now he follows me everywhere and always stands by me. It's kind of embarrassing."

"Good luck with that, Sweetie."


Awe, young love.
