Why do the kids ask, "Ms. Torres, do I need to put my name on this test?"
REALLY?!!!!! Sometimes, I am not sure what they are thinking at all!!!!
Middle School...the awkward years!
Beauty is found everywhere!

Yesterday we had a school holiday so we missed the national day. I came to school today and told them that the day we had missed was..............."National Pancake Day!!!!"
"Oh man, we weren't here in school to know about it." kids said very sad.
" I have been hoping for this day for a while! No fair!"
"I know!" I said. "But today is national chocolate milk day!"
"Yay!!!" the class yelled! and then they forgot about pancake day.
I think it is so funny they take the National day so seriously. It is not like they actually celebrate it or go home and rejoice in the grandeur of the day! Kids are so funny!

"Today you will color and label a world map. You will label all seven continents and 4 oceans. Color each continent a different color and write them all in capital letters. Every one understand the directions?" "
yes!!!!" the class answers
We spent time going over all the names of the continents and the oceans. We took notes on them and then we took our blank maps and started to label.
"Remember 7 continents and 4 oceans!" All a different color and in capital letters." I reminded them.
Two minutes later: "Is Greenland a continent?" "You never said to color it each one a different color!" " Capital letters?" "What about central America? I know it is part of North America, but should I color it a different color as a separate continent?" "How many continents?" "what do you mean 4 oceans?" "Europe and Asis are the same continent right?" " Should I label them?" and many many many more!!!
Seriously?!............. why don't they listen the first seven times I repeat something?
yes!!!!" the class answers

"Why is the banana so popular?" student asks
"I don't know. Why?" I reply
"Because it has 'a peel'! Get it! Apeal!!"
Student laughed so hard, and this was strange because this student doesn't say much in class or laugh with other kids.
Too cute!

" No. There are 18" she says laughing.
"What do you mean?"
"There are only 18 because the CIA came looking for ET about his UFO!" Way too cute!

Everyday I post in my classroom what the National day is. Today one of my students came in asking:
"Could you make today National Pancake Day!"
"I don't pick what the national day is. I get a daily email letting me know what the day is. Sorry!" I responded.
" All right then! Tomorrow I will send you an email letting you know that tomorrow will be National Pancake Day!. Make sure to read my email and then you will know!" he told me.
"Oh really? You have that much authority? Nice!" I said.
"Well you didn't say who sent you the email....so .....I will do it!" he responsed and laughed!
By the way... Today is National Cheese Pizza Day!!!
