April Fools Day

I was a little nervous this year for April Fool's Day seeing as I have a very emotional bunch of kiddos.  But surprisingly, everything went pretty well!  I got many "there's a spider on your head" or "Mrs. C there is a chicken in the hallway!"  It's amazing how much funnier we get as we're older.

One of the best jokes I've heard came from the third grade classroom.  Too bad I can't use it next year...so to anyone looking for a funny joke here you go:

Mrs. Buttars walked in on Friday morning and told her class that she just got out of meeting with the the principal about what to do in the event of a flood.  She taught them everything they needed to do in case of a flood.  

She started with having them roll their pants to their knees and get to higher ground.

Then there were lots of hands and panicked faces about what to do when the water got higher than their desks that they were on.

Answer: swim.

They practiced how long they could hold their breath and their strokes for several minutes. 

One girl was very confident in her strokes and informed others to correct theirs.

{Note: they are all still playing along!}

Another question was asked: "How do we open the door?"

By then everyone was taking this very seriously.  Mrs. Buttars did all she could to not crack up and answered that someone would have to swim down and open it.

SOO funny!  I can't wait to have this bunch of kids next year.  Kids are so gullible.  As for my class this year I made them all spaghetti and meatball cupcakes.  A few of them wouldn't eat the "meatball" {aka no bake cookie dipped in strawberry jam}.  

All in all, it was a fun day with the most BEAUTIFUL weather of the year!  Here is a picture of the final product.
