Fundraisers!

Sometimes, I wish I was more like the person who comes to get the kids excited about selling candy for their school. Every time I go to one of those assemblies, the kids are SO PUMPED. Maybe I should start saying "If you can do 100 multiplication problems, you will win this REALLY COOL PRIZE!!!!!!! And if you complete 150, you will get this REALLY COOL PRIZE!!! and this EVEN COOLER PRIZE!!!" 


Maybe that would help on those super slow days where nobody wants to do math.

Seriously, most kids from kindergarten to junior high love theses assemblies and end up super pumped. They want to sell ALL THEIR THINGS to EVERY PERSON. So, inevitably, right after the assembly, most teachers are barraged by a bombardment of students trying to sell all their things.

Here is a funny story that happened today to my husband (3rd grade teacher) after the assembly:


(In the office)
Student to Office Lady: Will you buy some stuff from me?
Office Lady: Sorry, I will be buying from my grandkids.
Student to Mr. A (my husband): DO YOU HAVE GRANDKIDS???
Mr. A.: (very confused, being only 28 years old...) Um, no...
Student: BUY ALL THE THINGS FROM ME!!!!!*


*paraphrased


Hahaha. Apparently my husband looks old enough to be a grandpa! Love it!!!


Also, speaking of Fundraisers, I finally got my girl scout cookies. and they are gooooooood. We have a "dealer" that comes to my husband's class every year, so we don't have to go searching them down in shady alleyways when we get a "craving" :)
