Run for it!

I have extensive supply of rubber duckies and well, last night they escaped! Quackers had a hand, er, wing in it!

As I was walking in that morning the Janitor remarked to me, "Hey uh, did you have anything to do with all of the ducks? They, uh, escaped!"

Tanning



It's a little cold here in CT and Quackers is a little annoyed! He's stretched out, reading a magazine and trying to catch some 'rays' in the classroom. Think it worked?

Quackers






Welcome to the classroom Quackers!

I started my classroom in December and the Elf on the Shelf was just about done. Not to be outdone by the Elf on the Shelf I introduced Q. T. Duck, otherwise known as Quackers, to my classroom!

I hope that I can continue with the fun in the classroom!

Today's adventures included a new game called Leapfrog that Quackers brought for the kids! It was just a $1 Dollar store find that the kids could use during recess! I also have a 'Brain Break' time carved out twice a week, and the kids can play leapfrog as one of the activities!

Reading

Life is like an open book
Where everyday is a new page
When the days are slow
The pages turn slower
When the pages go fast
The days go by faster

We're only a chapter in each others lives
But I hope we will be more
Though my books just started
And yours has too

I hope that we'll be read
Together
Until the very end
We'll last until the very last chapter
The last sentence
The last word
And leave the reader with a feeling of sadness
Because there is no more to read

But we'll live beyond our own story
Like all good characters do
In the next book in our series
