My blog posts have been few and far between. Not because nothing funny ever happens but because I seem to have filled my time with things other than blogging. I still cherish and appreciate the humor I see in the classroom. Yes, the students are a little more cranky these days - it's spring and they're still in school, but there's something about spending 7 hours a day with these kids that whittles away at my heart - the truth is, I'll be sad to say goodbye to many of them after this year. Enough with the sappy stuff though, here's a couple highlights from the week:
Monday while giving a spelling pretest, I say the word "parachute." Suddenly a sixth grade boy breaks into song "I came in like a parachute." This will only mean something to those of you familiar with Miley Cyrus's song "Wrecking Ball." Any-who, it got the whole class laughing -myself included.
Secondly, while on lunch duty yesterday, and during the 5 minutes of quiet eating time, a second grade boy raises his hand. I walk over to him and ask what he needs. Student: "We don't have a babysitter this summer. [short pause]. So we were wondering if you would want to do that?"
