“*Dr. Kenneth Zike has said that at least 50% of the children with learning problems referred to the neurological clinic at his hospital had had no traumas, no birth injuries, and no other physical deviations. Their trouble seemed to come from pressure - pressure to do a task that they did not have the maturity to do.”

J is for Joke Day!

Each and every child got up and shared jokes with us!  It was one of my favorite afternoons to date with your children.  They were funny.  They were engaging.  They had good timing and not so good timing.  We laughed through it all!
I prefaced the afternoon with the fact we needed clean jokes and ones that were school appropriate.
I was a little shocked at one of the jokes, but feel it is important to share. Everyone deserves a good laugh!

"A man goes into a bar and gets drunk on beer. (Yes, it was at this moment I said, "Whoa is this a clean joke?") He leaves the bar and begins to drive drunk.  He drives down a one way street the wrong way.  A cop who saw him leave the bar and drive drunk followed him then pulls him over.  The cop says, Didn't you see that arrow back there?  The drunk man replies, What arrow?  I never saw the Indian!"

Moral of the story and life lesson taught to a classroom full of 1st graders and a teacher with her mouth hanging open...DON'T DRIVE DRUNK!  The children didn't really get it.  I never stopped giggling.
