She doesn't suspect ANYthing

My stress level has been higher in the last couple of weeks than it has been all semester, mainly because my biggest projects for the university side of student teaching have been due. But, my students have been very complimentary and sentimental these last few days. As always, I've found humor in what they say and do.

I've been teaching less and less as I approach my final days. This week I'm only teaching 2 out 6 class periods a day. I also missed a day because of a seminar on campus, so some days I feel a little out of the loop as to what's going on in my classroom.

Yesterday a student comes up to me: "Miss Sjoberg, what do I do with this letter?"
Me: "I don't know. What letter is it?"
Student: "The one we were supposed to write."
Me: "For science?"
Student: "No, not for science. (a light bulb in his head goes off). Noooooo, not for science. And you're not teaching us anymore so nevermind! Just don't worry about it." Student walks over to my cooperating teacher and whispers, in a rather loud whisper voice: "I almost gave it away. I almost gave this to Miss Sjoberg. She asked if it was for science, and then I realized maybe she didn't know. But I was smooth. She doesn't suspect ANYthing." Student walks back to me: "I just forgot you weren't teaching us anymore. Don't worry about the letter. It wasn't for science."
