More Moments from First Grade

Student 1: "Wow, I wish we were in Mexico today so that we could celebrate Cinco de Mayo!"
Student 2: "No way, I wouldn't want to be in Mexico."
Miss Ryder: "Why not?"
Student 2: "I'd probably get Swine Flu."

Today was one of those days! :)

Miss Ryder...Look!

This morning, while settling into the classroom, one young man approached me. His face was filled with excitement.
"Miss Ryder, Miss Ryder...Look! This book has one of those things where you can choose which thing you would like to learn about!"
I responded with, "And what is that called?"
His response without hesitation was, "The Table of Continents!"

Funny, funny, funny! I'm thankful for these cute moments as we wrap up our school year! :)
