the do's and don'ts of back to school

For family home evening tonight, Tim taught the lesson on what we can do to prepare for going back to school. As the discussion progressed, it quickly turned into a 'Things to remember when going back to school" list. I just had to share.

1. get enough rest-- Tim
2. don't pop your wrist in class-- Jace (who then showed us how he pops his wrist by pushing it onto the table)
3. don't sing in class when you're not supposed to-- Lady (apparently, she did some impromptu singing in first grade)
4. don't wander into la-la-land-- Carter
5. always tell your teacher if you swallow a tooth-- Jace (cause that happens so often)
6. don't pop your knuckles-- Madison (in response to Kenzie continuously popping her knuckles during the lesson)
7. eat a good breakfast-- mom-- to which Jace added: it should be a quick breakfast so you are not late for school, cause that isn't good
8. if you're sick, grab the garbage can and then tell your teacher you might throw up-- Tim (he speaks from MANY experiences)
9. always tell your teacher if you're bleeding-- Jace (so he plans on having tooth and blood issues)
10. double check your work-- Kenzie
11. if you don't listen to your teacher, that is bad-- Laityn

I know, I know...you are feeling WAY more prepared for school now!

Phew! Now I know how to prepare. LOL What a cute family. My son has one rule on having a good day at class: Never cry in front of your friends. :) So maybe you can add that to your list.
