The top five things learned in first grade
today. (BEFORE the field trip even occurred...)
1.
According to Stuart, “The National Anthem used
to be a beer drinking song!”
2.
A “fiasco” is some kind of Mexican Party.
3.
According to Sally, “When someone is
performing you don’t say Good Luck.
You say break an egg!”
4.
Jack informed me that “Sometimes when
people have pains in the their tummy it’s called candy stones.”
5.
“When people get real old they get patience-er and patience-er. You’re REAL patience-er Ms. Smythe!”
While waiting in line at the OLD PEOPLE candy
store tonight, I didn’t feel so
patience-er - but I sure felt old.
(Not sure the
kids learned anything today, but we’ll just call this one a draw.)

no name calling..i am teaching summer school so i am only out two weeks...
So much cuter than middle schooler and high schoolers!
I need advice on an end of school gift. Please visit my blog and let me know what you think. Vodka is not an option for the recipient, even though that is usually the perfect gift.
Oh my gosh kids are so funny! Too cute!!! My mom still tells me when I was little about the time I ran in the house yelling "Mommy, mommy David has head lights". I love the candy stones...hehe!
Actually, the tune "The Star Spangled Banner" was set to was a drinking song. There was a chorus in Baltimore (since we're just past the bicentennial of the War of 1812) that performed the song in the drinking version's cadence. It was a really fun version!

While Key was with the fleet, the British began their attack on Baltimore by bombarding Fort McHenry on the night of September 13, 1814. The fort successfully resisted the British attack, and the following morning when Key saw the U.S. flag still flying over the fort, he wrote a poem that would become known as "The Star-Spangled Banner." When he was released from the British fleet, his poem was printed in the form of a handbill entitled "Defense of Fort M'Henry." It quickly became popular and was set to the music of the British drinking song, "To Anacreon in Heaven." Key’s battle anthem spread throughout the nation and was later adopted by Congress as the official U.S. national anthem in 1931.
Maryland Public Television did a documentary on the war of 1812 and included this...

Here it is done more as a drinking song - this is how it was performed in the documentary but I can't find a recording of that...

So sweet my friend. I love the little ones. My own grandkids are now 2, 4, 6, and 8. I love them all. I have been working so much, I haven't always had time to leave a comment. But your blog is still my favorite. Have a good week-end. . .
Take care,
Sue
Nearly the end of another year with a cute group of kids.
Well done, VM.
