two dead mice & a funny {aka, school}

The count from room 136 at MMS is now at 2.  Two Dead Mice.  Dead.  Squished, to be precise.  YUCK.  I quietly & oh-so-slowly enter my room and peek into the corner (behind my desk on the counter) hoping not to see gross dead mouse.  So far, all I've witnessed is a flipped over (thankfully toward the window) mouse trap.  UGH.
But, did you know, they RECYCLE mouse traps.  Really.  They unlatch the thing & take the dead mouse out & then USE the thing AGAIN {hence the term, recycle}.  That is so more gross.  So I have a USED mouse trap in my classroom.  YUCK.

Funny kid story:  Another class wrote me apology letters because they were loud when we were sharing a room taking a test.  One boy wrote, "I know it was wrong, but I'm only 12 and talking is something that is hard to control."  I don't even know this boy, but he is my favorite.  I could easily write, "I'm only 44 and talking is something that is hard to control."  <3 it!
