The Treasure Chest Post

So. I had a bad teacher moment this morning when I realized that I forgot to get the candy I promised the kids as a reward if they got all their homework problems right.  Oops.

My solution.  I found my school pictures from last year sitting in my desk drawer.  I whipped out a sharpie and signed them like the rock star that I am.

That's right.  I gave my students autographed pictures of myself as a reward.

I consider it one of my finer moments as a teacher.

I am starting a treasure chest with more useful items in it, such as band aids, nickels, dead batteries and paper clips.

I think the kids liked it more than candy.

Probably not.

Oh well. They're stuck with me whether they like my antics or not.

At least I think I'm funny.

The Bruce Willis Post

Yeah, I know. It's been forever. Don't hate me too much.

But this is hilarious.

School started today.  Nothing particularly noteworthy, except for the girl who found it necessary to tell us that she had a special gift.  The gift of seeing dead things.  She said if we ever caught her staring into space, to just ask for her attention, because she probably just got distracted by the dead things.  She says there is someone else in the school who has this gift as well, but she doesn't know who.  Tomorrow I plan to reveal my secret to her.  

Here's to a new school year everyone!

Peace, Love and The Sixth Sense,
