Never duck down by the door. If you have to go in for a reason!

I'm not sure what this one was about, but I LOVE the angry face I have as I glare out of the window on the door.

Never tell Mrs. B that you won't go to collage when you grow up.

Yes, "college" is spelled wrong, but at least she got the message!

Never pick your nose because Mrs. B will take away five minutes of recess.

(I have never taken away recess for nose-picking...but thanks for the idea!!)

Sorry, everyone, for the delay in posting the "advice" drawings. I have been in a computer migration situation for the past several weeks and have finally completed the data transfer. New posts will begin tomorrow!! Thanks!

Well, the year has ended and we are all (students and teachers alike) ready for some R & R!

I have a tradition with my students where I have them write advice letters to the incoming third-grade students. These are often hilariously illustrated. I will continue posting daily during the summer months so you can enjoy these little jewels of advice.

Happy Summer!

Jaycee: Did you like the drawing I did of you?

Mrs. B: Yes, very much.

Jaycee: Did you notice I gave you a purple shirt?

Mrs. B: Yes, I did notice.

Jaycee: Yeah. I think you need some color. (Note: Jaycee's mom owns a clothing store so she might have a valid point.)
A student has become frustrated because her seat-mate won't listen.

Natalia: You're hard of hearing, like an old grandma!

Dennis: Who's an old grandma?!

Natalia: See!!

Mrs. B: I need everyone to take out their editing journal.

Dennis: Anything for you, Your Highness.

One student "discovered" her hidden talent this year. She has really taken it to heart...

Cheyenne: Mrs. B, you know how I'm a fine artist, right?

Mrs. B: Yes.

Cheyenne: (holds up a drawing) Well, take a look at THIS!
