Just Because They Could...

Four young men from my Alma Mater (seen here) came to the classroom where I was teaching today.

They worked with the kids on math and social studies and the kids loved them. Before they left I asked which education class they were serving hours for (thinking I might know the instructor).

The Answer? None.

They aren't even education majors.

The guy I was talking to said "We come because ... of this guy." In the space of those three dots and as if on cue, a little boy ran up and wrapped his arms around the volunteer's waist grinning from ear to ear.

Off The Wall

Notice the lack of grass right by the wall? It is due to the world's deadliest grass killer...

Children's feet.

This is the 'time-out' wall for the students who lose some or all of their recess privileges... and if nobody is looking, it's also where girls go in search of 'bad boys' to follow. I had no idea it started so young!

While patrolling the wall I had to tell 6 little girls (we are talking age 8) to stay away from the (admittedly adorable) little boy who was on the wall unless they want to lose recess also. They walked away quickly but the boy flashed a 'Yep, I'm eight and already THAT charming.' smile at me.

Oh my is that one going to be trouble someday...
