Is now found!!
At one point in my life I had zero e-mail accounts. I suppose anyone over the age of 15 can say the same. None the less, with a burst of internet excitement, I somehow ended up with more email accounts than anyone could really need. As luck would have it, I lost the password to the account I used to create this blog. AND it only took me a year to recover it! I am that good. Hackers don't have anything on me.
Well now that I am back in action, I have 9 months of classroom history to relive. Some enjoyable ... others I'd rather forget. But I have Mark Zuckerberg to thank and grovel to for not letting those precious moments slip away. In the near future, you can check back in to relive those moments ... maybe with more detail (if I can dust off the ol' memory bank). But I could never just post without a little something to haunt your dreams. Heaven knows mine are haunted and misery loves company. So come on over and join me in my torture ... er ... teaching delights.
Today's momentous moment:
It's Friday - the end of a long week of no internet, no air, no subs, and eventually no sanity. I was just hoping to get through the day without any major crisis. But my kiddos do NOT disappoint. Where chaos is lacking, they are there to provide! Alas, we are sitting on the carpet reviewing math ... or reading ... I don't even know anymore ... just something educational and relevant to schooling. After reviewing and explaining I ask for questions. And here is the next conversation ...
Me: Yes student (I can't use their names and I'm too tired to generate a pseudonym)
Kid: Do cats lick their hands?
Me: They don't have hands. They have paws.
Kid: Ok - do they lick their paws?
Me: Yes.
Kid: (starts licking his hands)
Me: Umm - what are you doing?
Kid: I'm a cat. I'm licking my paws.
Next thing I know several kids have decided they are cats and are now licking their hands. What a germophobic nightmare!! That's the moment I tipped my hat and said yet another goodbye to a normal day.
