Lesson of the day: Gangsta's don't live foreva.

Here is why I love Jr. High.....

I let my students listen to the radio if they work quietly.  Yesterday the song "Grenade" by Bruno Mars came on and when Bruno(aka...Hottie McHot Hot) sang "I would catch a Grenade for you, I would do anything for you," one of my students stopped working and said...

"Dang, I would NEVER catch a grenade for NO girl!!!"

I said, "You mean you wouldn't even catch a grenade for me?"(side note: this student tells me he loves me everyday)
He paused, thought about it, and finally said "A grenade? Heck no! ...but a water balloon, maybe."

Today..........while doing a lesson on the suffix "ful" meaning "full of"...
here are some answers students gave...

Ghettoful: definition = full of ghetto


Crustiful: definition = full of crust

Waffle: convo after this one..."This is not using the suffix 'ful'."  "But it says Waf FUL!"  "Trust me, there is no such thing as being full of WAF!"

Eiffel: "You know Miss. K., like the Eif FUL tower!"


...and my personal favorite...Turdful.
Me:"That's definitely NOT a word."
Student:"But what if you have to go to the bathroom and you're full of turds?"

We're also working on literacy and to get the students to read we're giving them topics they are interested in and our unit this week is on dress code and sagging.  The article we read says that the sagging trend originated in jail because prisoners are not allowed to wear belts causing their pants to sag.  Here's what a student had to say about that...

"That's not true Miss. K, when people sag their pants in prison it means "I'm available."

ON another note...here's one of my most favorite shirts of the summer that my student was wearing yesterday.


     I died laughing...top 5 favorite student shirts.

Yea, I'm fancy...WHAT?!?!?!?!





Thought of the day:   My students bring out the ghetto thug in me and I love it!

Love Always,
