(Too Many) Things Confiscated on a Thursday

 I swear the 4K kids have a secret phone chain they use to call each other to plan weird things to do at school. They must have used this secret phone chain in order to get the word out that they should bring as many toys to school as they possibly could. I only got pictures of a few.

I don't really know what this is. It lights up and looks like it was in a McDonald's Happy Meal.

Batman just couldn't stay in a backpack. The kid conveniently left his backpack at daycare but somehow Batman made it to school. 

I hope these keys aren't important because the kid who brought them left them on my desk. 

Lip gloss is one of the most annoying things kids bring to school. I find little tubes of it everywhere. I save it for a day and if no one mentions that they lost their lipgloss or chapstick, it goes in the trash. 

The kid who snuck in this stress ball also snuck in a half eaten granola bar, some peanut m&ms,  a toy car, unsticky stickers, and wouldn't keep his shoes on today. 

This is probably my most favorite thing a kid brought to school today. If you punch it, it says things to you. It's a pretty big toy casually bring to school and then casually try to bring to the carpet.

For most kids, the "That's so cool! I bet you would feel sad if it got lost or broken. You should put it in your backpack so it stays safe." spiel worked.  For one repeat offender, I started saying, "Oooo! That's a really cool toy! I like really cool toys and don't really have any at my house." Then they would wonder if I was going to take their toys and I would say, "I don't know- it is really cool. . . " And into the backpacks they would go. Unless they had to stay on my desk until the end of the day.
