Back to School...Pinky the Wonder Bird Strikes Again!

Ugh. Back to School. Seriously. I did NOT want to go!!! My alarm went off at 5:30 this morning and I was like, "Are you kidding me?" Having three weeks off was wonderful! I love that part of year-round school!
The morning was pretty uneventful. My kindergarteners were great. They did such a good job learning their new songs and we had a little time left over at the end for the Chicken Dance. =)
Pinky the Wonder Flamingo is now sporting her winter gear. I took her Santa suit off this morning. I figured it was time, though I never like saying goodbye to Christmas. Here she is...

As if to welcome me back, my first graders provided me with this little conversation:
T: "Ms. Jonas! The pink goose is wearing a scarf!"
D: "It's a domingo, she said!"
A: "FLA-mingo. It's a FLA-mingo!"
At least one of them is catching on...

Ah...how I've missed my job...
