Would you ever go out with me?

I found this note folded up on my floor. Bwahahaha

Folded up note

The note is backwards because of the picture, but it says,

"Would you ever go out with me - yes/no"

I showed it to my sister and she said, "They made a country song about that."

Gotta love middle school!

"How to make a full home made pizza"

In my writing class, we're working on writing various kinds of paragraphs. The last paragraph we wrote was an expository how-to paragraph. As a pre-write, students had to write down the steps of whatever they were giving directions to do. One student, who has a very unique writing style, wrote the following:

How to make a full home made pizza

1. Plow felds with a traktur.
2. Drive to the closest store (or farm.)
3. Find and buy the seeds.
4. drive back to your feld.
5. plant the seeds and wait for nine to ten weeks.
6. cheek your windo and see if there are wheat.
7. Buy the toematoe seeds (Do 4, 5, 6, 8.)
8. Harvest.
9. go to a grinearey with the wheat.
10. Now grind the wheat untile griney.
11. head back.
12. water the flower and add yeast
13. Mend the dogh
14. Drive to buy pigs.
15. head to the your farm then fatten them.
16. mash the toematoes until purryed.
17. take them to the buttree (butcher)
18. after they slotted (slaughtered) the pigs you will get sasiges (sausages)
19. buy the cheeze
20. Shred the chezze.

22. Then ad peporne (pepporoni)
23. put the pizza in the oven. for 30 min
24. after cook take out the pizza
25. eat it. (it's good!)

I adore this student and he always asks how I'm doing and his very polite. This was just too good not to share. So creative!

Sorry I was staring at you...

Another 2nd period story.

Last Friday, December 7th, a student kept looking around the classroom (including looking at me) instead of doing his homework. So I told him to stop staring at me and do his work!

At the end of the period, he came up to me and offered me a pen saying,

"I'm sorry I was staring at you."

He was giving a peace offering for "staring" at me. This kid is so funny! I love him.

He also is extremely apologetic to a fault almost (which you wouldn't think is possible). For example, if I give him one negative mark for talking out of turn, he will bow his head and apologize and say something like, "You should give me two more red points because I talked out."

Another day, I noticed that his science binder was broken and almost useless, so I told him I was going to give him one. He said he couldn't possibly accept something from me. I told him to stop being ridiculous because I was going to give him a binder and that was the end of it. (To give you an idea of how broken his binder was, the binder rings wouldn't open unless both ends were pushed down at the same time. It wouldn't just snap open on its own. I don't know how he ever got anything in or out of it!) He was so gracious, but wouldn't stop saying he was so sorry for taking something of mine. I told him it was OKAY and he needed to move on and just treat this binder well.

He's such a good kid. :)
