Cover the classroom Expectations! Great idea!

One of my fav blogs, Clutter Free Classroom, has blogged about her emergency sub plans.  One of the things she asks any sub to do is to review her classroom expectations chart.

 That's a great idea.  Most elementary classrooms have some kind of chart on the wall.  At the beginning of the day you could have students read each of the expectations and review line rules, free time rules, movies rules, etc.  As those things come about during the day.

 

Emergency Sub Plans - Incredible Gummi Worm Science Experiment

I have created a fun and tasty science experiment for students. I think this would be a great emergency kit to have in your car, just incase the sub plans are a little light or there aren't any at all!  All you need is a bag of gummi worms, a pack of cups and this sheet.  You can get both the worms amd the cups at a Dollar Store.  So for only $2-$3 you can have a good back up that will keep the kids interested for a good amount of time at the beginning and the end of the day.

Okay, this one is a little gross.....

In a fourth grade classroom some kids were having some interesting conversations as they were working on finishing a project just before Christmas.  I walked by one of the groups and they asked for my expertise.

Student:  "Ms. D, if you hold in your fart, does it come out as a burp?" 
Me:       "I don't think that's how it works."
Student:    "I think so!  And if it's true, does the burp have poop particles in it?"
Me:        (Trying really hard not to completely crack up because they were super serious.)  "Guys I don't think there are poop particles in your burps."
Student:    "Are you sure because sometimes my burps taste like poop."
