Working with six year olds you learn to expect them to have their fingers in their nose at some point which absolutely grosses me out! Whenever I see one of my students with their fingers in their nose I call them out in front of their peers by saying" so and so that is NASTY, go get hand sanitizer". It embarrasses them but hopefully it will teach them to think twice next time they have the urge to go digging for gold...but probably not. As I was walking my kids to art this week I saw one of my favorite students from two years ago walking down the hall with his fingers almost all the way up his nose. I said, " stop doing that, it's NASTY" he replies to me saying, "but miss kenimer, it's okay because I have a whole collection of these guys next to my bed at home." Even as third graders they are still amazed by boogers for some reason.....so gross!
