Thoughts from the week

I've been a little neglectful of my new hobby so here are some thoughts from this past week.

We made pin-hole constellations out of black construction paper. We put them on the overhead projector so we could see their constellations projected on the wall. J., an eighth grader, went last. His constellation (probably the best of the lot) was of the Mickey Mouse head. A couple of other kids snickered and J. got furious thinking they were laughing at him. We said, "J. that was very creative-good job." His response? With fists pumping in the air, "Just because it was creative doesn't mean it was!" Hmmm....

Another student upon hearing some kidding that he rode the short bus to school noted, "It's not a short bus, it's just missing some seats."
