We started the day by filling our our birth certificates. We had to weigh our babies using a balance scale in grams. Then, we had to find the circumference using a piece of string and a ruler.
Kids/Parents were also offered a one time buy in for medical insurance. Most kids bought in. In the case of an accident, the bandaids were $10 a pop instead of $100. Unfortunately, we had one parent have to learn this the hard way....$300 later. :0(
We also learned that Mrs. Grewell was correct in warning us not to play basketball or teatherball at recess with a baby in our hands. Ouch and CRACKS! Poor babies.
The cribs were so dang cute! And, when you added the drawn on egg, it was adorable. What a great way for kids to step into your shoes for a day!
Of course some kids forgot to take their babies wherever they went and took the chance of it being kidnapped by mean ole Mrs. Grewell. It was $20 a pop to get the kid back. I made some cash today!!!! (Right A.J.?????)
Normally, I tell the kids that they will be getting a S.S. grade for this and then at the end of the day tell them that I was just kidding to encourage them to take it more serious. However, this year, they did such a great job that I did take a grade. It was 5 points off for each bandaid bought. :0)
Here were some funny quotes I heard throughout the day...
"My mom and dad make it look so easy."
"I don't want to have a kid. I just want to be in our basement watching TV on the couch."
"I don't like being a parent!"
"You have got to be kidding me...my baby got stolen again!"
"When you have children, you need to let the mom watch the baby."
"I'm not ready to be a mom."
"This is fun. Can we do it again tomorrow?"
Again...love my job!
Homework tonight is a states and capital's review. I encouraged them not to use a map at first so they can figure out which ones are still giving them trouble for our test not this Thursday but next on all 50. I encourage you to check them over and have kids make a flash card for ones they get wrong.
Tomorrow is bike to school day. Kids may ride their bike with a helmet and join Mr. Pertuit on a 30 minute ride around campus at 1:30. They MUST have a helmet to go. Those that don't bring a bike, will do a walking scavenger hunt at school outside.
Due to the teacher's at Arrowhead being so BRIGHT, Mrs. Meier is suggesting kids wear their sunglasses tomorrow at school. A fun way to show teacher appreciation. :0) I loved all my homemade cards today too! Thank you!
Three people are still in need of field trip money ($6). If it is your kiddo, I told them to write it in the planner today. It would be great to get that turned in this week so I can get it off my hands as well. Thanks!
Have a wonderful night, and if your kiddo shows you their birth certificate and insurance card write EGG in the planner for $50 tomorrow.
Mrs. Grewell
