Kevin and His Youtube Channel (page 7)
One afternoon, in math class, Kevin noticed that Jesse was not working on math. Upon closer inspection, Kevin saw that Jesse was quite off-task!

Warm Your Heart
I just watched this and it brought tears to my eyes. It also made me miss my students a TON!
Choose to see the good. Do some good.
(They) Have Spoken
I wore my dark gray dress with light gray shawl today and promptly received compliments from four fifth-graders.
“I like how you wear that.”
“I like your jacket.”
“You look like a Mandalorian.”
“No, you look more like a Sith Lord.”
They seemed to think these were compliments, so I took it is as such.
On a Budget
One of my fifth-grade students approached me this week and declared:
“Five dollars at the Dollar Store will legit pay for gifts for your friends.”
What We Tell Girls
He didn’t mean to be mean
He was just playing when he grabbed you too hard
He’s sorry and you should just move on
He’s not stalking you, that’s your imagination – you need to work out it, both of you
What did you do to make him do that?
What were you wearing?
Why were you alone with him?
He’s just a touchy-feely kind of guy
He does that to everybody
Student Reflection #2
It’s How You do What You do
I asked my 12-year-old niece, “Who is your favorite teacher?” Although math comes most easily to her, she didn’t hesitate to tell me her English teacher is her favorite instructor of all time, because “She is so enthusiastic about everything! She loves to act stories out.”
Here’s to enthusiasm!
Samuel Adams
My fifth-grade class was conducting research on Loyalists vs Patriots pre-Revolutionary War. Students were assigned Benjamin Franklin, Lord Dunmore, Tom Hutchinson, Mercy Otis Warren, or Samuel Adams.
One of my students was perplexed.
“I have Samuel Adams and I don’t understand this word: ‘lager'”.
