It’s Friday-which means we are one week closer to summer and it’s also one of our favorite days to link up.
It’s 5 for Friday!
Our post is going to the birds…
We have been battling birds outside our classroom for years now.
The Culprit=Black Crows.
Did you know that they are not scared of first graders?
Or their teachers?
They are on a mission…
Any and all Brown Bag Lunch Bags are their targets.
Doesn’t matter if the bags are tucked inside a student’s backpack with only the slightest of brown showing.
If the backpack is unzipped, they will find it.
If you bring a Brown Bag Lunch to school, you’re pretty much bringing a Happy Meal for the crows.
We warn our kiddos…
“Please keep your lunches zipped inside your backpacks.”
Some listen.
Some live dangerously and tempt fate.
Did you know crows can unzip ziploc bags and enjoy Cheetos?
Did you know some like creamy peanut butter,
while others prefer crunchy?
It’s true. (maybe)
And, guess what?
They do not throw away their trash…Ever. So rude!
It’s torture for teachers revenge of the birds. They toy with us.
We now rely on friends to head out to lunch together.
Hand in Hand. Safety in numbers.
Brown Bags clinched tightly in their fists.
Make no eye contact and move with a purpose ~
To avoid the crows!!
Thank goodness for friends.
Life is just better with them.

Oh, and did you happen to see those cute birds in the graphic? Those are not the ones that steal our lunches.
Those are just to let you know that each of us has a “bird story“ of our own to share. Yep, that’s right, a bird story. Don’t we all have a bird story? Ok maybe it’s just us. Do you? Please say you do.

We are loving that our hubbies can hang out with their girls, accept some bunny ears, play Littlest Pet Shop along with Headbandz, and still be “Manly Men!”
We are knee deep in geometry in math and loving Kelley’s Shapes Unit.

We are SO done with birds, so we‘re monkeying around with our Firsties in our Rainforest unit.

There’s a terrible fire in the city next to our school and it also happens to be right by Christy’s parents’ house. Our students lost power last night and came in today with all the energy that wasn’t running through their houses.
It’s times like these that make us pause and remember what’s really important in life.
This was taken from Christy’s parents’ driveway.

We are so thankful for the amazing firefighters and rescue workers who are putting their lives in danger every day to help others.
Have a blessed weekend friends and stay safe.
