Paparazzi

My students are obsessed with taking pictures of themselves and each other on our class iPads. I have so many attractive shots of myself taken by my students. (I'm being sarcastic here - those children can take some heinous pictures.) I jokingly told them that I feel like they are my own personal stalkers...or paparazzi (to put it nicer). I may randomly share pictures that I discover on my iPads because some pictures just need to be shared.

Here is one for you:


This one is currently the background of one of the iPads. This one isn't as bad as some other ones.

As it is Christmas, this picture was taken last Friday, December 19:


There can be a few good ones I suppose. :)

-Ms. Damron-

"Then get a husband."

A couple of days ago during my 6th period, a student randomly asked, "Ms. Damron, would you rather have a big house and crappy car, or a small house and a really nice car?"

I thought for a moment and then said, "I would want a big house [not so much a really nice car], but then again, I don't really like big houses."

After launching into a discussion about big houses and whether or not you feel comfortable in them, a different student said, "Well then why don't you get a husband?"

A third student piped in with, "Yeah Ms. Damron. Why don't you try eHarmony? Apparently they match a lot of people."

hahaha My students so desperately want me to get married, apparently.

Later that period, one of my 8th grade girls said, "Will you invite us to your wedding Ms. Damron?" I told them of course - the more the merrier!
