When it comes to hair accessories in this country, the slogan seems to be, "The more the merrier!" I snapped this picture of one of my students yesterday. Keep in mind, this is a subtle example of the hair accessory phenomenom... Usually my girls have anywhere between 5 and 10 different barrette's, clips, ribbons, etc... in their hair at any given time. The rule of thumb seems to be, the younger they are, the more they should wear. Sometimes bedazzled playboy bunny barette's even pop up on my 1st graders! I'm not gonna lie... It's kinda funny!

Sweet Irony
Yesterday, I wrote about eating Octopus for lunch at school and mentioned how I wondered what ever happened to having corn dogs for lunch... Well today, we HAD THEM! I couldn't believe it! The funniest part though, was the fact that they were served with rice and yellow Indian curry.
Walking to Class!
At my school, students switch classrooms for English, Science, Music, and Dance class (Yes, they have a dance class once a week!). When they switch classrooms, the follow a very organized and precise ritual. They make 2 lines; 1 girl line and 1 boy line, and it's organized by height.
They all line up in the hallway outside their classroom and hold their books against their chests. When they are all in place, they walk, single file to their next class! Oh, and the teachers never have to tell them what to do... It's all student run. It's amazing! I snapped this picture when the 6th graders were coming to class this morning!
