I was out on the playground with my camera walking around when I seen a little guy climbing the slide. He was breaking the rules but I took his picture. Then I seen two girls on one swing. They were breaking the rules but I took their picture. Another group of children were burying a little girl in the sand. They were breaking the rules but I took their picture. The bikes were popular on this particular day. It was way over crowded. They were breaking the rules but I took their picture. Some little guys were throwing rocks. They were breaking the rules but I took their picture. The standing on the bikes and the stick picture were totally staged, as if you can't tell.. but still they were breaking the rules but I took their picture. Why did I do this? Because I thought it would make a really fun Foto Finish Friday Post! Why else? No, really - I made a class book. Teaching the words unacceptable/acceptable. We took pictures of them making the right choice and the wrong one. It has become quite a popular book in their little book corner. They love seeing themselves. They are also mastering the word quite well. Wednesday at lunch a little girl looked at me and said, "Teacher, this lunch is totally unacceptable. My stomach hates it". Way to funny! And I just wanted to throw this picture in because it is so stinkin' cute. On September 26th, we celebrated Johnny Appleseed Day. We graphed apples. Tasted Apple Butter and Apple Muffins. We drank apple cider and then made apple prints with red, yellow, and green paint. We had a fun day... and I thought they looked adorable in their Johnny Appleseed Hats..

So funny! Kids do love to be the story, that was quite creative.
I love those pictures with the sayings on them! So cute!
Have a great weekend!

I miss my teaching days looking at those pics.!
I finished Twilight-finally! (Usually I have time/effort to finish a book in a couple of days.)
It was sooo good-I will go on to book two in a few days-when my heart rate goes down...
For now, I am going to read a chick lit.-the newest Jane Green.
Have a good one!!
Her latest book is "Beach House". I didn't like her last book, "Second Chances", but I have liked her others. (I think she might have gotten a divorce or something, because "Second Chances" was about divorce and adultery-not a topic I want to read about.) I don't know about "Beach House" yet-only on chapter 3, and it is a bit weird...
We'll see...
adorable
Out of the mouths of babes.;)
I need to make a book like that for my teenagers about the "chore" rules while mom is away. But somehow, I just bet they would not be as excited as your students to see their pictures in that book.;)
God Bless,
Amy:)

Cute..Cute..pictures! My kids love to be the story..smart...good thing I don't have my picture being taken now when I break the rules (I'm a Mother now I can't or wouldn't do such things..cough.cough)..JK-LOL!!Love the post.
Ah, fun! Those are SO good!
What a great idea! Very creative and great pictures!
OMG! So very very cute! Have a great day!
I just love reading your blog, such great stories!! And this one today is no different!! Great pics & story..... Oh, and my sun loved "johnny Appleseed day" too... we brought in biscuits & apple butter...yummy!!
What a FANTASTIC idea! I love that you've put it in the story corner and that they get to see themselves in the book. LOV IT!
Glad you joined us this week Becky, this was a PERFECT PSF!
I can't believe you got that many real 'caught red handed' shots. Going through them I thought they were all staged. But they weren't so I guess you have some rulebreakers on your hands, lol.
Anyways, your kids are so lucky! You definitely seem like a great teacher. My Princess had 1 in pre-k and you cannot imagine what a lasting impression you great teachers leave on those kids AND their moms.
Those are some lucky kids!
=0D
Those are great pictures. Those little stinkers know they are getting away with something. Look at those sassy smiles:-)
That is really cute! (Except for the girl getting buried in sand..that one makes me shiver..hahha)
Love your great Idea's on teaching the little one's
Love the breaking the rules story and photos!
Can you still teach in like 10 years and let me know where I can find you so that my future kids can be in your class?!
What a great way to teach those concepts. How fun are you?
these little darlings are ADORABLE. They remind me of all my kindergartners. Just as funny. :-)
I love it -- how much fun!!!!!!!!
My PSF is finally up!
Oh my gosh that is so cute! What a great idea, I bet they would love it if those pics were posted as rules in the room :)
Love it! Love breaking the rules!
And what a great start to your first :-)
This is so cute! What a fun way to teach.
Your playground rules book sounds like a great idea! How cute is that!?!
Thanks for stopping by hotmamashouse on Photostory Friday!
Too much fun . . .oh, yeah, no such thing. These pics are great!
That is a great idea! Kids (and adults for that matter) always love to look at pics of themselves.
That's too cute!
Priceless!!
Great shots. Love the captions. I love following my kids around and snap when ever I want!
Such fun shots! We do Johnny Appleseed Day too and I love how cute all the kids look.
Now THAT is the way to teach. Beautiful shots!
Welcome to PSF! Great photos. Kids are so funny.
Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, I love the idea of a book showing what the rules are. I wish I had this idea much sooner!
I love the pictures! I also love the little one saying that the lunch was unacceptable! Kid's are so full of humor!
Great pics. Love the sayings on them. I'm new at this so my blog is somewhat lame compared to yours. But thanks for stopping by!
What a great idea.
That is too cute. I love how they are all breaking the rules, but not in a bad way.
You have to be the coolest teacher ever!!!
What a cute post and what a great idea to make a class book!
Have a great weekend - Kellan
I just love the idea of this little book. The pictures are just great!
What a great way to teach the kids what is and is not acceptable.
I may have to make a book like that for my girls - Sure would be a big book on the unacceptable side though...lol!
Cute photo's too.
they are super cute and what a great teacher...come on over to my blog for a surpise!!!!!!!!!
Every kid I have ever seen, prefers to go up a slide, rather than down it.
What a great idea to make a class book out of all the rule breakers! So cute.
Those pics are too stinkin' cute!
I grew up small town OK....even taught in small town OK.
Thanks for visiting my story. Happy weekend
Your blog is so steakin' cute!
CUTE! Kids learn when they can relate and what better way than with photos of themselves. Clever teacher! : )
Those picture are ADORABLE! My 4 yr old has very similar rules in his Pre-K, but they did not make a cool book like that. Wonderful idea.
Happy to have you in the Photostory! :) The kids are too cute and I bet they do love that book!
Super cute! what a good way to show and teach them
I love the lunch comment! :D
What fun!!!
You won an award!!!! Goto my Blog entitled "I won an award!!!" to see why I nominated you ...xxxxx..
Thanks for stopping by my blog fellow Oklahoman :) I love your post! What a great idea...you are right, kids LOVE seeing themselves...so what better way to help them by SEEING themselves making good or bad choices :) LOVE IT! Maybe you should take a picture of an OU Sooner vs an OSU Cowboy....good choice....bad choice??? WE know which is right!! Hee hee! What cute kiddoes by the way :) Have a great weekend!
My son's class did Johnny Appleseed and he loved it!!
Adorable post!!
Haha, great post! Kids will be kids!
I loved this post, way to cute.
How cute are you. I wish you were a teacher near me. Your idea of what is right & wrong to do is so crafty. I bet the kids enjoyed 'helping' out :)
Awesome Website!! You are a truly great educator, counselor, and surely a great friend. What a team you must support. I would love be part of your team.
May God bless you!!
