Excuses

Dear Mrs. Jensen, my son will be out of town April 1st. We are heading to Florida for the April 5th Shuttle launch. Please excuse him from the performance.

Dear Mrs. Jensen Child A and Child B can't attend to easter play because they have to go to the imigration. Thank you.

Mrs. Jensen, My son will be out of town the night of the play. WHat can he do to make up for missing?

What little boys are made of

I don't check pockets when I do laundry. After washing Ethan's pants, this is what I found in his pockets.







Smarties wrapper
Gum wrapper (Thankfully, no gum)
a rubber band
a small rock
the corner of a love note
and.... it looks like a fire cracker.

Cool.

Who's coming?

ALWAYS PROOFREAD!!!!

This didn't happen to me, so it's funnier.

The teacher sent out a note to all parents:
"The Science Fair is on Thursday. Please wear Sunday best. Sunday best is slacks and a button-down shit for the boys and dresses or skirts for the girls."

Whoops!

Bach

I was doing a lesson in which I used the music from Johann Sebastian Bach's Sheep May Safely Graze. While introducing the piece I stated how Bach wrote music mostly for the Luthern Church. One little boy raises his hand and asks me if it was "Our Savior's Luthern Church in Roy."

Should Olympians sing the National Anthem after being awarded the gold medal?

Straight from my 6th grade class:

Yes

*Because they should show pride in their country.
*Because it shows they're proud of their country.
*Because the national anthem represents their country.
*Because it is good to sing the anthems.
*They should sing it. They should know it by then, too. But if they are like the Japanese skater who competed for Russia you might not know it.
*Because it would show they honor their country.
*So they can show pride in their country.
*Because it would be cool singing their anthem and listening to other's anthems.
*Because they're showing gratitude to their chrainess (sic) and their country. It also showing different cultures, and being a good sport.
*Because they are representing their country. I also think they should sing it because its the Olympics it only comes once every four years.
*Because they are representing their country and should represent it the whole time that the WInter Olympics occur even if they are so excited that they can't speak.
*To represent our country's song, it's not like it's only them singing it is everybody there. Just like us six graders in chapel we sing in front of all the other classes, but they sing with us. And that is why I think they should sing!
*Because they are representing our country and we want people to think we're a bad country.
* I think that they should sing in honor of their country. They are up on those stands getting a medal they should be happy and sing. Shawn White did the air guitar and that is kinda supporting your country. You should just get up there and have fun you honoring your country by getting a medal. Yes I think they should sing even if they have ahorrible voice it's okay.


No

*Because they might be a horrible singer and don't know the words.
*Because everyone doesn't sing well.
*Because they are so caught up in winning but at the end of the Olympics it would be cool if each country sang their national anthem.
*They should stay polite and reverent. The reason why is that when people sing their anthem, they are honoring the athlete's diligance and dedication. But, people like Shawn White should not be goofing off because it really makes them look childish and immature.
*Because even though they may be in a communist country they're still Americans which means they have freedoms so we can't force them to do something they don't want to do.
*Because they are possibly in too much shock.

"*It's their choice! Let them do what they want!"
