teaching teaching teaching ramble ramble ramble.

Do you remember this poem from last year?


Here are just a few gems that came out of the mouths of babes today:


"You are like, really pretty." - random 4th grader at recess
"You have really good, clear skin" - one of my own chilluns in the middle of a math lesson
"Your hair smells awesome!!!" - random 3rd grade boy in Tier 2 LA
"Here is an apple Miss Stutz," (stops and thinks). "Umm, nevermind." (goes and puts it back in his lunchbox). - little hooligan punk


Whatever. I got two more apples today anyway.
