Wash, rinse, repeat

I have been letting my classes try out the new Kindles. I have been showing them how to use them and then just letting them read during class.  Today after 3rd grade I was taking them up and I noticed that one of them something dusty all over the screen.  I looked at the table where I had taken them up from and said to the kids...

"What is this all over the screen?"

One of the students told me "Oh that's me.  I have terrible dandruff and it got all the screen."

He then proceeded to scratch the front of head and let loose another shower of dandruff onto my table! 

It took everything I had in me not to tell this kid he was being totally gross.  At 3rd grade you should have some idea of appropriate public behavior. 

I just looked at him and told him to stop scratching his head. 

Sometimes kids are so gross. 

Christmas in February

Look what my wonderful principal bought for my library!  I now have 50 Kindles to check out to my students.  I have been setting them up and teaching the kids how to use them all last week. They are supper excited too! 
Here's a funny Kindle story...

The other day someone said to me

"I bet you hate Kindles and all these electronic books"

I giggled and said:  "Nope, love mine! I've had it 2 years and it goes to bed with me every night.  I don't go anywhere without it!" 

I don't necessarily love the books, but I do love the stories in them and those I can get on my Kindle.
