Hmmm. . . .

I saw a girl writing in my class the other day while she was supposed to be reading. Fourth grade girls have been known to write malicious notes, so curiosity got the best of me and I walked over to her desk so I could read what she was writing. My eye caught the following sentence that the she had written about herself:

"Cheryl has facial hair."

Hmmm. . . . I hadn't noticed, but I suppose it's a possibility.

Turns out Cheryl was working on a spelling assignment where she had to write sentences for each of the words and the spelling word for this sentence happened to be facial. I decided not to tell her that putting a man's name in place of hers would make more sense. I thought I'd let her unknowingly give her ELA teacher a laugh. I am such a cruel teacher.

It's Thanksgiving week for goodness sake!

So I'm sure there are other things I should be doing, but instead I am sitting at school on my computer contemplating why I have to be at school today. Are there any other teachers out there who are actually having to work this week? Hmmm. . . Didn't think so! :P

Well I've gotta go pick up my students from PE. Think of me while you are curled up on your couch with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate.
