Has it been almost a month? I apologize. Things have been going relatively well. I mean, we've almost completely stopped doing independent reading in favor of me reading aloud a book, but, well, that's worth something. I hope.
I leave you with this gem. My students asked me a few weeks ago if I was a nerd or cool in high school. I said, "Are you kidding me? Do you even know me? I was a complete nerd. I'm a teacher for goodness sake!" They asked me to prove it by bringing in a yearbook, so when I went home over vacation, I fished my 8th grade yearbook out of my dad's closet. I brought it in, and showed a group of them some pictures. (I was voted Most Likely to be on Jeopardy in middle school, thankyouverymuch.) They flipped to a signature page and saw where one of my male friends had written his phone number. A girl asked, "Oooooohhh, did you have a boyfriend?" I said, "In 8th grade? No, of course not." "Well, do you have one now?" "No, I don't." "Good, you should be single and ready to mingle!!!"
Yes, I apparently allow this inappropriateness to happen.
