A very little boy just asked me to fold his paper into a circle.
Perplexed, I asked what he meant.
“Like a treasure map!” He replied.
I rolled his paper into a scroll for him, and was rewarded with the most beautiful smile.
He ran out of the library, still smiling. Then he ran back in, came to the desk and said “ThankyousorryInearlyforgot!” And ran away again.
My drama class was rehearsing a play which includes excerpts from a number of Shakespeare’s plays.
While creating a donkey mask, the actor who briefly plays Richard III said, “A pencil! A pencil! My kingdom for a pencil!”
Not missing a beat, another student replied, “2B or not 2B? That is the question!”
I am so very, very proud.
My students have obviously learned something from studying Shakespeare’s ‘Othello’.
A student wrote the following assessments in this week’s essay:
“Desdemona is Othello’s wife; the least he could do is talk to her, but apparently that’s too much to ask of our protagonist.”
“Othello is a dirtbag husband that took advantage of Desdemona’s love for him.”
Spot on, I say.
Student: May I go to the toilet?
Me: Ouis!
Student: I don’t speak French.
Me: Nor do I.
Student returns: I just got that joke on my way back to class.
Me: *internal facepalm*
LMC: (to the visitors). What’s the time? Oh, wait, I will check on my iPad…
Me: you just asked that so you could say you would check on your iPad in front of everyone, didn’t you?
LMC: Yeah….
At least she had the dignity to blush.
LMC: Hey, do you want to see something creepy?
Me: Creepier than you??
LMC: Oh, it IS me, though!
LMC: I love Bruno Mars.
Me: Are you going to marry him? *chuckle at old joke*
LMC: I’d do anything…
Me: Would you take a grenade for him?
LMC: *looks disappointed* …no.
