Today has been the craziest day in a long time.
We may or may not have taken an INTERESTING aerobics class tonight. With hair whipping. And heels.
In our news unit, we started doing our daily homework called "Newsworthy." We fill out a sheet about a news story we heard or read and why it was interesting to us. I have a few that are newsworthy...
"There was this story about a kid who almost got crushed by a train. I think it is interesting because I wonder what it feels like to be crushed."
And a few (yes, more than one) that echoed this sentiment: "There was this story about a person getting thrown in jail and it was interesting because my parent (s) are in jail."
Oh so sad. I cannot even FATHOM being without a parent during my formative years.
We also began our "dialogue" journals today. The kids, as part of their independent reading time, have to write letters to me and I will respond.
I. Literally. Died. while answering the letters.
