Mr. Big Ears

Ok, here's a funny story that happened at school today. This picture is of Mr. Big Ears, which I just put up today. We've been talking a lot about what to do if someone is being mean, tattling, etc. So I told them that Mr. Big Ears just loves to hear all kinds of stories and that he gets lonely sometimes because of where he is in our room. I told the kids that if they ever want to tell someone a story, or if they really want to tattle that Mr. Big Ears would love to hear it! I wasn't sure how the kids would respond, but they loved it! After recess one girl came to me and said "I just have GOT to talk to Mr. Big Ears!" And during independent reading time, several kids wanted to go read their books to Mr. Big Ears. It was a hoot! It cracked me up, and really lifted my spirits after a long week. Kids can be so funny sometimes!
