to those kind individuals who have made comments in the previous post. for those who haven't yet filled my love cup, please do so here. i'm shooting for at least 25 individual comments. if my students would help out, it wouldn't take too long.
speaking of my students, one 7th graders' family was featured on nbc nightly news. . .though it was postponed the original night and then preempted (locally) due to a shooting in nbc's local studio. the interview can be seen here. my student is the basketball star. . .not the "dump tons of ketchup on the hotdog" king.
today we had a fire drill and my class exited with the computer class. our group was commended for speed but reprimanded for being too loud. one of my former (blonde) students excitedly proclaimed "i'd rather be loud and dead, than slow and dead". when i mentioned the comment to my current students, they didn't see anything odd about the statement. . .even when i reminded them in either case they would be dead. i love my students (poor little emus). . .but i fear that when they are on their own they will be like bleeding seals in shark-infested water.
today the yearbook staff conducted a survey among the student body. my students wanted me to read their memorable moments out loud. most of them had the same memories, but their were a few that stood out to me. . .all about the same student. 2 quotes that i remember from this student: 1) this rain is wet and 2) when told that the pies were 50 cents replied, "no, they're 2 for a dollar".
the next time you see one of my 8th graders, ask them why xerxes is mentioned in the old testament book of esther. . .especially rmontero.
play rehearsal was interesting. . .check out bzsigray's foot. nice wart. thanks for sharing bill. the next time you see bill or dmontero, tell them you don't like their clothes. . .regardless of what they are wearing.
more later. . .
peace and java
