As I greeted my students at the door this morning with hugs and remembered how I had missed each child, the children were busy unpacking and getting settled into our semi decorated classroom and discussing each little change and seasonal decor! During this time I try to talk to each student, give lots of hugs, and listen to their cute stories. It is routine that they come in, get unpacked, put lunch money on Mrs. Green's desk, and start on their morning work. Sometimes they don't remember to put their lunch money on Mrs. Green's desk or they don't have a bag with the money. They hand it to me and then I frantically find a bag because I don't want to forget who it belongs to or lose it!
As students were coming in a student came up and told me she had some lunch money. I told her just to give it to me and I will take care of it. So she handed me her lunch money....it was 3 pennies! Not what I was expecting! I couldn't wait to give Mrs. Green her "lunch money!" We got a kick out of it all day! She told us she found her lunch money in her coat pocket!
We never broke the news to her that she didn't have enough! At least she was trying!!!
