Open House = a clean desk

Wednesday night was Open House for Room 8 - actually it was for the entire school! I just love this night...visiting with parents and students... meeting future 4th graders ... and visiting with old students who come by to say hi.

Wednesday afternoon, it was CLEAN OUT YOUR DESK time. I think we could clean them once a week and that wouldn't be enough for some. Others could go the entire year without an official desk cleaning time, and their desk would still be neat and tidy!

What a great time to take pictures! Is there ever a time that's not great for taking pictures in Room 8? I don't think so.As you can see, Room 8 was a busy...very busy place! Macey looks a bit overwhelmed!Amber is focused on getting her desk cleaned...Kyle W and Dillon appear to be having a good time....while Devin is heading back to his desk after putting some papers in recycling.Jacob's desk was a work in progress... here's what it looked like at this stage of the game:Trevor was showing how far he had come on getting his desk in tip-top shape! You can see how busy Emma is... and Michael? Well, I think he's exhausted and is thinking, "Gee, Mrs. J., how much longer do we have to do this?""Hey, Mrs. J!" yelled Kamren. "Look what I found!"

Kamren had found one of his Christmas presents from me... a homework coupon. "You better use it, Kamren," Mrs. J replied.

"Well, I want to save it."

"Oh, I see. Do you want to save it for when you really need it?" asked Mrs. J.

"Yep!"
As you can see here, the piles on the chairs are not quite as high.Oh my gosh! Now here are some neat and clean desks!
Mission Accomplished!
