I must admit that the first of this school year has surprised me immensely. It's been full of fun and concerns, new beginnings and fresh starts, but most of all it's been a rude awakening to the education of our youth.
Here's the story:
I wanted to introduce my students to the social studies curriculum for the year so, I had them do a picture walk through their Social Studies book. A lot of students were getting really excited about the upcoming year. They found mummies, flags, great walls, Greek gods and goddesses, wars, pestilence and all kinds of interesting things. Then I noticed a group of students who had an interesting look of concern, amusement, and puzzlement on their faces. Intrigued I asked, "What did you find?" One student piped up, "Um, Miss Allen? What does this say?" I take a look at the word and understanding fills my head. "It says Assess. Review and Assess." Then I started to laugh. It reminded me of a movie where Mike Myers said, "You've put the wrong em-fAhh-sis on the wrong syll-Ahh-bull."
All I can say is, I love my Job!!! Ja ja ja!

That is funny. They were wondering what kind of profane book you were studying. I love the ja ja ja. Oh Ann told me a funny story about neighbor girls asking if they could play with her little sister. So funny. I love the story. It still makes me laugh just thinking of it.
I love the regina spektor on your playlist! I will have to add it to mine if you don't mind.
That's a good un! LOL!
