The Only Thing He'll Remember About 4th Grade...

Today, one of my public school fourth grade students came back from lunch with the whole back of his orange shorts soaking wet. He had slipped in mud on the field, and - after going to the nurse to see if she had extra pants, which she didn't - tried to wash off the mud. I told him he could put on my Alice in Wonderland blue caterpillar costume and hang his shorts outside to dry. So he was dressed as a blue caterpillar the rest of the afternoon.
