The Education of Young Children

A couple of weeks ago I spent some time in my classroom switching out some of the toys. I grabbed some blocks from the supply room and threw them in the class. The next morning I started taking a closer look at the blocks and realized that I could not in good conscience leave them there, however I think they offer some great entertainment.


































My personal favorites: the shrimp, the battleplan, the missile, the electric torch and the beer. Honestly who puts a mug of beer on a child's play toy?!
I ended up editing them with a black permanent marker so the kids could still enjoy the building pleasure.

I'm freaking out!!!!

Tonight I had the first piece of hard evidence that I am in fact getting older! I found my first grey hair! Where should it make its appearance? Right smack dab in the middle of my forehead.


Some would pull it and deny they even found it, but that just seems fundamentally wrong. So the hair will stay and I will try to accept my fate to some day be a aged woman.
