Too much turkey. I WISH I could say that I had eaten too much turkey. On whole wheat with sprouts and vegetables and good stuff. But I didn’t. The hubby asked for McDonald’s and seeing as how he went through something that our boy dog, Foster, never forgave us for, I indulged him. I figured he deserved some high cholesterol and sodium after going through this for the SECOND time. But why did I need the calories that come from the yummy goodness inside of a carton called French Fries? . . . Hmmm. Let me think about this and I will get back to you.
I have a Library problem. In that, I don’t take my whole class when it is our time to go. Instead, I have a parent volunteer that shows up during our Library time and I send a few kids at a time to go over there and exchange AR books. I tell myself that I do this because I do not want to stop teaching and there is just too much learning and what-not going on in my classroom to stop and take the whole class over there. But this is a big fat lie. BIGFATLIE.
I’m afraid of our librarian. And I’m not the only one.
She is nice enough. I have given her gift cards for letting me use the library stage for my end of the year play. Yes. She lets me. It’s her library, after all.
I think it’s hard to visit a school library, I mean, a CHILDREN’S library, when the person running the whole thing would rather not have the children touch the books. Much less look at them.
So, rather than protecting my kids, I hide out in my room every Tuesday. They’re on their own. I don’t need to borrow any books. They do. So . . . good luck with that.
The rest of us need to stay busy while we wait our turn. I didn’t think we would need to stay busy because I have the best class ever but, as it turns out, we do. Give your kids 25 minutes of “free time” and see what happens. I dare you.
So every Tuesday, I come up with SOMETHING to keep our brains fired up (and off the fear of “Oh no, it’s my turn now!” or “Did so-and-so come back alive? With a new book? Or does she owe a fine?” It seems we always owe a fine). Here’s what we’re going to do this Tuesday.
So this is why I titled my post “Too Much Turkey”. I feel like I am on a show for the Food Network and this is all I’m talking about, day after day. Enough with the turkey! Show me how to make some pasta! (You’re right, you’re right. I do NOT cook. But I watch the Food Network so that I can place orders with my husband. And because I love food. And Giada.) I will try to come back this week without one turkey lurking anywhere. Believe me, I know how you feel.
Has anyone figured out a reason why I ate McDonald’s? Why, oh why? Right after I told my cardiologist I barely ever eat fast food? I feel bad. In more ways than one because I feel guilty AND I think ole Mickey Dee is rebelling (which is quite rude because I didn’t do anything).
Well, if you’d like to play Roll the Dice and you don’t mind the sound of 30 dice clickety clacking all over the desks and/or you have quiet dice and/or you put the dice in a container and/or you are smarter than me in another way, just click the picture to download.
I leave you with four questions.
1. Why did I eat McDonalds???
2. What’s your librarian like?
3. How do you manage your dice?
4. Did anyone watch Grey’s Anatomy?
You ate it because it SMELLS so good! But I don't ever eat it either..lol
Our librarian..wait…MEDIA SPECIALIST (she is NOT a librarian, says she -lol) is WAY AWE-SOME!!!! I go to her for EVERYTHING! and she comes to me too (since she knows I pretty much have a library in my class). I can't imagine having someone like you described!!
My dice are in a drawer (like the rubbermaid 3 drawer containers) and my kids are really good at maintaining them….I have a post about classroom setup on my blog that shows what i mean.
and no..I didn't watch grey's :-/
I'm still trying to figure out why I eat McDonalds!! I think maybe I do it to entertain the girl behind the cash register when I ask for a Big Mac without meat… But the double arches make me double over in pain soon after eating. So seriously? Why do we do this? Insanity? I don't know.
My librarian? I could tell you more about her if she ever came out of her office. We have a free-flow library, meaning we don't have scheduled times. Instead, we can send up to six kids at a time for however long we want throughout the day! I send 6 during stations…even send them during inside recess. It works for us!
Dice management? I pop an extra Tylenol when I know I'm going to break them out…
Grey's? No. I got behind in my DVR and just can't catch up. I'm probably missing all kinds of wonderful, aren't I?
Wait. You didn't ask for my life story or a book, did you? Sorry. Consider it a big THANK YOU for all you do. 🙂

**Love our librarian {but came from a school where our librarian never wore a bra, smelled like BO and collected so many pen caps she filled a whole file cabinet with them…I'm NOT joking}
**McDonalds…I have nothing. I eat it.
**I'm all backed up on Grey's too…I have last years and this years on DVR. OY.
**Dice management…a friend of mine has the soft smooshy ones…I need to get those. Same friend (Yes, it's Barb) suggested rolling them on foam pieces. She's interoffice mailing some to me…I think I'll just have them roll them on their folders (how do you get them to NOT fall off their desks a hundred times or more?!?)
Have a great week, Kristin! (I linked to one of your posts on my blog today)…
Smiles,

Thanks for the freebie Kristin! I love McDonald's french fries, so you are making me a little hungry talking about them:)
Our librarian is great! We love her but before she came we had a librarian that we were all afraid of! One time she told the children to put their hands in their laps or she might step on their fingers and crush their bones!! Can you believe that? Those poor kiddos just looked at me with big eyes and I made sure they put their hands in their laps!
I have different kinds of dice and if we are doing a paper whole group and everyone is using dice I use the little foam dice that we got with our math program. They are really quiet!
I missed Grey's Anatomy last week…I was hoping someone could fill me in.
What I Learned in Kindergarten
OH MY LORD!!!! My husband thinks I am CRAZY cuz I sit over in my corner chair reading along and all of the sudden laugh out loud like a nut! This happens almost every time you post!!! The Halloween post and this one are hilarious. All your posts are hilarious!!
McDonalds fries…who can say no?
Librarian….yes, but I am on her good side (for now) so I don't worry about myself, my peeps on the other hand……
dice….I use pieces of felt. Cheap and quiet:) I forgot the other question and have too many tabs open to find it! Have a super evening!!
4th Grade Frolics
Hello!
McDonalds…it's just there and sometimes it gets eaten…Mentally work it off. There that's better.
Ok our librarian is kind of amazing. She dresses up, she goes ALL out every time, she makes the library so fun that I take my camera every time I go there just in case. She reads stories that make me act and feel like I am six again. She is THE BEST!!!! total BFF..She got teacher of the year her first year…and she isn't technically a teacher. YUP-that awesome!!! I am so sorry that you are afraid of yours. I borrow half the library every week…ok let's see…greys anatomy…kind of off and on for me lately. But survivor!!! It's getting good. And one time you totally spoiled it for me but I forgave you really quickly…now I have to be careful and watch it fast so I can still keep up with your blog. Oh my goodness this might be the longest comment in history…
Ssshhhh … please don't tell, but we refer to our library as the "Book Museum". Why? Because our librarian (curator????) does not like children to touch the books. My previous principal told me that she loved how the library was always so neat and organized; no book was ever out of place. I tried to tell her that was because the children weren't allowed to touch the books, but I don't think she understood.
We used to have a rocking chair in the library. It was really cute; but the children weren't allowed to sit in it or even touch it. I am so glad the chair is gone because it was just too tempting!
I don't go to the library either anymore. Since I have a combination class, I send my first graders with a parent volunteer (a BRAVE parent volunteer) and I teach a kinder math lesson during the time they are gone. At my school, the kinders don't go to the library and I like it that way! One of the other kinder teachers tried to convince me how nice it would be to take our kinders to the library, but I stood my ground. Nice? Oh, no, not nice. Scary? Oh, yeah but not "nice".
Isn't it strange that as teachers we can be so brave about some things, but it's our librarians that scare us? Sad, but true.

My librarian is crazily mean as well!! She's like 80 years old and the meanest thing in the world. She has OCD so the colored chairs have to be in a particular order and God help you if you were in there and messed it up. She NEVER lets the kids read books or take them out until they're in 2nd grade (I think?) The Kindergarteners don't get read to either, they have to watch a video. Yes, a video, in library. Every week. Most of the time it's some sort of religious video cartoon thing like those vege-tales things but yeah, the kids don't exactly look forward to library. A lot of times they cry, and I don't blame them. If their uniform isn't right they're bound to get yelled at and they're 5! It's not their fault, it's their parents' fault! Crazy
I wonder that myself today as my spouse dragged me there- we rarely eat their- I stop for coffee every once in a while lol
Our library aide- is AWESOME!!!!
We put them in old plastic rectangular baby food containers.
Oh and yes I watched Grey's!!!!!!!!! OMg!!!
1. Why did I eat McDonalds???
Well it smells good and at the time it tastes good-and if the hubby was going to eat it why not you too 🙂 I always think McDonalds french fries are a good idea at the time too.
2. What's your librarian like?
She is pretty wonderful and helpful-but kinders don't get to check out books until like March and even then they are not allowed to take them home. This bums me out. And I found out that she grew up in the house next door to the one I grew up in about 25 years before I lived there 🙂
3. How do you manage your dice?
I have not yet been daring enough to get them out…I am planning to make some tomorrow though for some of these fabulous thanksgiving centers I have found!
4. Did anyone watch Grey's Anatomy?
YES YES YES! I am so sad about the baby! and I want to know NOW what happened with the ending-I don't want to wait until Thursday!!!! I LOVE GREY'S!!!
I am a weirdo and have only ate at Mc Donald's twice! Yes, you read that correctly… the cholesterol is not putting a greasy film over your eyes causing you to have blurry vision! hahahaha I did not grow up eating fast food and I have never had a fast food hamburger!
I love the turkey dice game! I love dice and have oodles of different kinds. We roll dice on a piece of felt. It is quiet and gives them a boundary so they aren"t rolling like they are in Vegas!
Thanks for sharing and making me laugh!
well the fries are just tasty little devils but did you ever watch Supersize Me ?? It could help you never eat there again…the fries taste great but have you ever noticed if you drop one in the car, if you find it weeks later it looks exactly the same ??? Scary…..
Dice….I made up all these great games I found on a blog, can't remember which one but many of the games call for dice and it is driving me crazy because only my busy boys ever want to play those games and the sounds of the dice whipping all over the floor….must find those cushey dice. I gave up on Grey's a few years ago…does anyone watch the Good Wife ??? I am so hooked on that, Julianna M, love her and she kind of fills the gap that ER left.
I finished my progress reports today, yesssss, so I can watch TV guilt free tonight. Hubby wants me now, we need to look at wood floor samples AGAIN….love to do home renos and am excited to finally get new floors but the process tests our 20 years together 🙂

Sorry, I am so excited to chat I posted twice…I think this site is going viral, the comments add up as I type, we all love you and love to chat !!
Yay thanks! I wrote a different math activity into my sub plans for tomorrow but I am totally going to have the sub do this instead. I think they will like it!!
Also, we don't have a librarian! We have moms that come in and volunteer. Our library is depressing. However, the library moms just said to me the other day that they want to start taking the kids to the public library every 2 weeks to get real books. I said HOORAY!
At my student teaching school, the librarian was crazy. It was an open-air library surrounded by classrooms with no doors or walls… only dividers. So during library you had to be SILENT and first graders aren't good at that when they are excited about new books. I got yelled at a lot during library time in student teaching…. 🙁
Marvelous Multiagers!
Almost forgot….our Librarian is a gem, a good friend too. Loves the kids, loves to read, picks the BEST read alouds ever, shares grown up books too and loves wine (after school of course). She helps me in the computer lab after we pick books because I am so untechie. Veronica is the best !!
You are just so hilarious!
You eat McDonald's because I think there is an ingredient that makes us crave it…like chocolate or blog stalking.
My librarian is AWESOME! She is our techie too and is always there to help.
I have foam dice. Ha, the only nice thing that I can say about my new Envision crap, I mean math program is that they gave us some foam dice.
1. LOVE McDonald's fries-this is making me want some right now!
2. We have a new librarian this year-so the jury is still out on that.
3. Foam dice are the way to go-I found a pack of foam cubes at Dollar Tree last month so now I make them myself 🙂
4. OMG Grey's Anatomy-what a dramatic episode. I heard the next episode isn't until January and I cannot handle a cliffhanger like that!
Keen on Kindergarten
1. You ate McDonalds because you didn't want to fix something for yourself and it just sounded good for a change.
2. Our Librarian is awesome! All in favor of kids touching and loving books too much! Very supportive!
3. I keep them in a drawer. When it is time to use them we use our rubber mats (You know the ones so things don't slip) so they don't make a TON of noise and to keep them on their desk (HAHA).
4. Grey's! Seriously! I have to wait 2 weeks to find out what happens!?!?!? NOOO!
Hey..
I love your blog. I was just wondering what size your blog button is.. it is nice and big! Also you should come check out my blog. I think u'll like it! add me to your blog roll. You are def. on mine!
THanks

I eat McDonald's too much …..
I was a librarian for three years. I think I was a pretty good one…. But I was overworked and not appreciated
I don't watch grays.
You ate McDonalds because the FRIES ARE SO DAMN GOOD!!!!
We have a media aide and she is pretty good. Very helpful. But I have had to deal with the type of teacher you talk about. NOT FUN!
I use foam dice and if they use regular dice, they must play on the floor!
Yes, I watched Grey's. What did you think??? Would love to know your thoughts about the season!
Thanks again
Sara

Thanks for the dice game. LOVE dice. I have paper plates (the kind with a rim) with a piece of felt glued on the inside for dice rolling. Makes the rolling quieter and contained. Our librarian is a volunteer but great. Only problem is that she travels a lot and then we get canceled. Also, library isn't open until weeks after school starts and closes weeks before school ends. McD's fries–addicting! Gray's–no, too busy blog hopping.

So sad that your librarian is not kid friendly. At a school I used to be at before it closed, we had a crazy librarian. She was nuts! The one we have now is really nice. She does try to monitor the levels the kids check out, but inlet my kids get whatever they want! I'm cool like that!
As for Mc d's, I to avoid it at all costs. I do go there, I end up with a diet dr.pepper and a yogurt parfait. My daughter loves the chicken nuggets…if they are even real. Thanks to weight watchers, I don't touch the place except for the yogurt!
Dice…I have giant foam dice from oriental trading that I bought at CM for super cheap. No noise!
As for Grey's, it's the one show I watch sometime during the week. I watched it this week while deep cleaning my bedroom. It's getting too much for me. Ugh!
Hope the hubby is doing better. My hubby used the time to remind me how much he took care of me when I had our daughter!
I am working hard to avoid McD's. I'm spending all my money at Weight Watchers and cant afford to buy McD's AND go to meetings.
New librarian this year. The jury is still out.
Dice–Foam is the only way to go. Until I got foam dice I used huge styrofoam meat trays (the ones that are used for the 10 pound family packs) and the kids rolled the dice into them.
I'm not a Grays fan…Parenthood? That's my drama of choice!
Thanks for the freebie!
1. We eat McDonald's because McDonald's is the devil.
2. My old librarian was SUPER nice, but our new librarian is a little bit scary. She's not scary to me (much) but she's made some kids cry with their fines. We never had fines before – we just hounded the kids to get the books turned in! But the new librarian has instituted fines. The other day a student returned from the library with a very distraught look on his face. "What's up, Eddie?" (name changed) "I owe a fine!" he declared dramatically and burst into tears. I was thinking this must have been a VERY large fine and wondered if it was my fault – sometimes my schedule gets a little crazy and kids miss their library day. "Well, how much is it, Eddie? We can figure it out," I said, hoping it wasn't too much. He sobbed back," Thirty cents!" Oh, Lord. Thirty cents. I'll pay it myself. So apparently, our new librarian is super scary. It makes me a little sad.
3. I pretend I can't hear the dice, but inside, it grates on my soul. I often have the kids sit around the room in various carpeted areas so it's not as noisy, because the constant ***roooollllll***** ****rrrooolllll*** ***clatter across the floor***** makes me a little crazy.
4. Not a fan of Gray's. Sorry I can't fill you in! 🙂
Buzzing with Ms. B
1. Why did I eat McDonalds???
Good question, their fries are yummy. My tip is get a happy meal! they're healthier now and you get a toy for your treasure chest at school.
2. What's your librarian like?
I love mine and made an effort to get to know her. She is a little protective of the books but now I send my class for a 30 min story and lesson and then 10 min book exchange (all 23 of my kinders kids at once). She teaches them a lot about how to care for the books. The kinders can't take them home until January so I keep them in my room but that's so the kids learn responsibility and how to care for them in the room.
3. How do you manage your dice?
I bought foam dice from Really Good Stuff and I'll never look back! They're quiet and big so they don't get lost.
4. Did anyone watch Grey's Anatomy?
Missed it this week but have you seen the new show Once Upon a Time???? Love it!!!!

1. You ate McDonald's because it's the American Way! Overeat! Eat the stuff that's bad for you! Don't exercise…and even better- we don't even have to take credit/blame for our choices because the TV MADE US DO IT!
2. Our librarian is wonderful! His name is Mr. G and the kiddos can't wait to get to him. Sometimes, we don't even take our planning and we stay in there too because he is so awesome!
3. I use the Gerber Baby Food Containers….AWESOME! I had two moms donate like a gazillion! You just snap the lid on, they shake 'em and the dice stay put! Use them for the letter dice for non-sense words too! They are the next best thing to the foam dice….which when left free become a chewy treat bc of an oral fixation…..yucko! so I still with the hard dice in the gerber containers!
and #4….. I have 3 weeks of shows recorded….and haven't watched any!!! I have to play sick next weekend so I can lay in bed and get caught up!!!!!
The little darlings are out tomorrow but we have staff development and team building…ick
Going Nutty!
Staci!
Our librarian at my school last year was the SAME exact way. Everyone was afraid of her. She made at least 15 kids from each class go to the bathroom to wash their hands when she saw their fingers in their nose. Really lady?? When are their fingers not in their nose!? Anyway, apparently she did something unforgivable over the summer and never came back…
The librarian at my new school is AWESOME!!!
1. French fries from McDonald's are (to me) akin to I think what some people feel about caviar. They are just perfect. How could you pass that up?
2. Our librarian is actually an Ed Tech. Apparently our district doesn't think Librarian is an important enough position. She's been in it for a LONG time. She's okay. She likes the kids who bring her books back. She is not so fond of people who over love books. I bring all my kids (I only have 16!) to her every Wednesday for 40 minutes. Yes really. I thought everyone did this. It's my planning period.
3. I just let the kids use the dice where ever they are. I always read about people being irritated by dice clicks. I have a high threshold for noise. I am LOUD.
4. I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy because the characters kept getting younger and dumber. 🙂

1. McDonalds: Coffee = a must, especially when I'm too lazy to make coffee. Occasionally (as in yesterday) I'll grab a cheeseburger and small fry… and *gasp* a Diet Coke, because nothing beats a fountain pop! (I LOVE caffeine!)
2. Library: Meh. We have been in our building for 7 years, and this year is the FIRST year our K kiddos can check out books. It has been an epic battle, but they are doing an amazing job taking books home and bringing them back.
3. Dice: O-M-G! I have a love/hate relationship with them. I have half foam and half regular. Dollar Tree usually has BIG foam dice, 2 for $1!
4. Grey's: Don't watch it anymore… too dramatic… made me anxious and a slight hypochondriac! 🙂
Kim @ carriedawaykindergarten.blogspot.com
I totally had to delete my comment because…well…she reads these blogs {apparently I didn't know}. NOW I'M REALLY SHAKING IN MY BOOTS!!! Hahahahahahahahhahah
I thought about that as I read about all those scary librarians…but if they are so mean and scary, maybe they would never read a fun blog. Doesn't anyone watch the Good Wife ? I do love Parenthood too……
1. I don't know why you ate McDonalds.
2. My librarian made my class stand and wait in the hallway for 2 minutes because we arrived at 8:18 for our 8:20 library time. She is a stickler for schedules but when you work with kids you have to be flexible!
3. I have my class roll their dice in plastic bowls.
4. I don't watch G.A.
Why did I eat McDonalds???
I say it's because my daughter likes their fries…but I do stop A LOT in the AM and get my sweet tea fix..A LOT!
What's your librarian like?
She is great. I'm new at the school and I already feel that I can confide in her, she has gotten books for me from other schools, and is great with the kids. She loves what she does so much that she volunteers at Children's Hospital Library.
How do you manage your dice?
They are kept in a hanging bucket on the wall. When there is a game the kids have to use them for, they also have to get a mat (pot holder, others use a piece of felt). The dice HAVE to stay on the mat if they don't they have broken one of our workshop rules (respect materials) and there are consequences.
Did anyone watch Grey's Anatomy?
I am a Grey's watcher …unfortunately I am about 5 behind, but gotta love DVR. I did accidentally watch a little bit of it this past week.
In my multiple years of teaching I have had 2 AWESOME librarians and 2 CRANKY ones(aka we were also fearful of them) . The Cranky ones would never let the children touch the books much less let them get them off the shelf. I asked that my students be read to for the 15 minute period so they could hear someone else besides me read..only 1 of the 2 would do that. (Grr!) The other Cranky one – I often wondered why she even worked in a school as she did not seem to like people ( big or little)! The other 2 ladies walked on water for us! They were WONDERFUL . They would hunt books for your units, read to the children, find books they could read and other amazing things! God bless those ladies!
1. McDonalds: Because they coat their fries in some super addictive coating to make them super crispy. And delish!
2. Our Librarian in the Color Copy Nazi. She believes it is her duty in life to squash the joy from our blogstalking treasures. Seriously, does she buy the ink? No. Aren't school printers intended to be USED by teachers to create teaching materials! But she is nice to the kids. 🙂
3. Foam dice all the way. Or a ginourmous diet coke to dull my hearing.
4. Grey's. For real? How come they keep killing off all the hunky husbands with heart conditions! So sad! And then the whole baby thing, double sad! Then the people in the road when they get out?! Sad cubed. Sheesh!Enough depressing things. But I guess that's why I can't stop watching!
Don't know about McDonald's. I like the parfaits.
Our librarian is an aide. She is AWESOME! Absolutely. She lets me take my entire class and leave them for half an hour. WITHOUT ME! I get some planning time. The kids love her. She even does activities with them AND let's them check out 2 books each.
My dice are in the little plastic bowls. LOVE IT.
I don't watch Grey's. Can't help you out.
Our Librarian is the Laminator/Ink Nazi. Borrowed from Mrs. Bossy because it fits ours to a t-“She believes it is her duty in life to squash the joy from our blogstalking treasures.”We are only allowed to laminate things that are going to be used and touched on a daily basis. She thinks that laminating film is made of gold. Seriously, does she buy the lamination or ink? Of course not! Our PTA pays for it all. Aren't school printers and lamination intended to be USED by teachers to create teaching materials? I am so scared to even laminate items now.
1. Because McDonald's tastes so good…
2. Our librarian is really nice, she doesn't always have great control of the students however it is a nice place for them to be. And one of my few breaks throughout the week.
3. Dice…they are hidden…lol…no really I usually do them in centers so there are only 5 kids at a time with them?
4. I don't think I am ever home when Grey's is on because I don't even know what's going on
All these posts about mean librarians make me so sad!!! I'm a librarian and we are loud and crazy and messy during library time…all those old crotchety ones need to retire 🙂
Part of our jobs as librarians are to make the library welcome to all users-students and teachers alike!
Update! So I put your Turkey Roll the Dice game into my sub plans yesterday, and today when I came back to school during Morning Meeting I asked all the kids to tell me about their day yesterday. And the only thing they remembered doing was Turkey Roll the Dice! They loved it. So thanks again!!! 🙂
Marvelous Multiagers!
LOL at the scary librarian! There was one of those at one of the schools I student taught at! Nobody ever managed to work out WHY she took a job as a school librarian since she clearly did not like children!?
McDonald's has cornered the market on FAST, CHEAP, and SALTY…
My school doesn't have a library, or a librarian…this is how I justify my book purchases :-).
I manage my dice by having a class limit of 16. Please don't hate me—just remember the "no library", "no snow days", "no substitutes" stuff.
I missed Grey's but caught Private Practice and, I will never do drugs now!! Hey, even at age 47 it is good to take this stand!
Happy Thanksgiving~~~ we will be knee deep in Gingerbread Pirates very soon!
ReadWriteSing
1. You had McD's because every now and then you just have to have something that is greasy and fattening and makes you happy.
2. I LOVE our librarian. She has transformed the library into "Library Island" complete with a huge underwater sunken pirate ship and areas like "Easy Beach" (easy readers) and the "Dewey Desert" (nonfiction).
3. Dice – foam is awesome!
4. Gray's Anatomy – wouldn't know – don't watch it.
Teachin' First
dice – I ordered the soft plush dice – you know the tacky dice sets that people hang from their rear view mirrors??? from orientaltrading.com they were fairly cheap and I cut the string off and the kids use those and YESSS!!! they are so quiet. they work perfectly for any dice game. I would love to know what you think of that idea and feel free to post it on your blog somewhere if you want. Here is the website address and right now they are on sale for $15. per dozen.
