So what's the weirdest thing you have in your desk right now?
As a teacher I often find a lot of things just lying around my classroom. I also confiscate stuff that kids are playing with in class. Most of these things end up in my lower-left desk drawer without another thought to them. Today I had some extra time, so I decide to clean out my desk. I had quite an adventure looking at all of the things I've collected over my last 4 years at Harrison. I thought I'd share some of them with you...
1. A miniature figurine of Obi Wan with movable arms and legs (he's seen in the photo riding a supercool motorcycle and also with the mini terrorist playing cards)- which leads me to number 2
2. A miniature deck of terrorist playing cards, featuring Saddam Hussein as the Ace of Spades.
Either the third graders were playing poker at recess or thought they might run into a terrorist on the teeter-totter. Maybe a little of both...3. A tennis bracelet, only missing 1 stone. The third grader who gave it for me did an appraisal and said they were "real diamonds".
4. Someone's house key. If I ever find out who it belongs to...HOUSE PARTY!!
5. A crochet hook- ??? not a clue where this one came from
6. A tiny lock and large skeleton key
7. The ever popular superball. Which is no longer in my desk drawer since I was having fun bouncing it off the walls when I found it, and now it has disappeared...
8. One perfect attendance pin. Show up at all my parties and it's yours!
9. A matchbox ambulance. Perfect for transporting Obi Wan to the hospital after he falls off the supercool motorcycle. Unfortunately for him I didn't find a miniature helmet.
Last but not least...
10. Bloody tooth in a bag. (too graphic for the picture) I don't know how someone didn't miss this one, but I just found it on the floor. I keep forgetting to bring it home and put it under my pillow.
Well, that's just some of the weird stuff in my desk. What's the strangest thing in your desk?
