The Triumph: Another successful writing lesson today! There were only a couple of students who did not have writing that they added to their books today, and one boy said to me "I need help adding words, because I'm writing books that have words now!" I was so excited to hear him say that! He actually had another quote during my writing to them that I wrote down on the last page of my story because I thought it was such a great quote about what writers should do. I love the connections that kid makes!
The Struggle: There are still a lot of not nice words circulating throughout the room. We have been reading manners books all week and the kids are great at making connections, however, they can not make the connections from the books to themselves!
The Ludicrousness: Today, while I was reading, I noticed a student of mine, showing his middle finger to a group of girls next to him. I looked right at him, and with my angry voice said "What are you doing?!!!" He turned to me, still with his middle finger out, now pointing to me and he says "I got a cut on my finger, SEE!?!" I just said, "Ohhhh... ok!" and started laughing to myself!
