Something that only a very creative fourth grade class would invent!
We have a set of magnetic bars and balls that my kids like to play with during free time in our classroom. Way back in the fall, one of the girls put together several of these magnets in a shape that somewhat resembles a dog, and "sucker-dog" was born. Sucker-dog's nose is a magnet and he often finds himself in precarious predicaments involving magnetic objects, thus the species' name.
We had our indoor recess today after lunch and Sucker-dog made his usual appearance. She brought him over to my desk as I was working on papers and started telling me a story. It was so cute, I had to document it!
Sucker-dog wasn't really trying to come to my desk, but my binder caught him, naturally.
He left my binder, tragically losing his head in the process, but all was made right again and sucker dog made his way across the front of my desk, where he found my teacher's Bible manual.
Other student - "Wait, let me add a backdrop!"

Sucker-dog survived the Bible book and needed some dog treats, of course!
And then he found my ID badge and key.
And then mean Mrs. Blair said, "Your half an hour is over!" and we did science. Us teachers - such kill-joys.
My class this year cracks me up. We did science and then had a practice spelling bee. As we were getting ready to start the spelling bee, a student asked what I was doing after school. I said, "Zumba!" and that started us on the topic of Zumba stretches. We spent a good five minutes flailing about, "stretching," as one student all but rolled on the floor laughing.
A teacher after school today was bragging on my class. She said, "you're so blessed to have such a wonderful class for your first year here!" So true - God is good!
