If you want to do a fantastic me, yell, yell, yell, yell, and YELL.

"Fantastic me" is a paragraph that I make the children write when they misbehave. It is meant to remind them how wonderful they are but they apparently do not like writing it very much. Perfect combination.

Do not bully or Miss B will take you to the monkey cage wich is the Princibels office. P.S. You do not want to go to the money cage.

See me glaring angrily out the window? I'm starting to notice a theme with these drawings...

Do not make gross noises. Mrs. B will throw up. p.s. do not fart

Okay, the small format here doesn't do a thing for this drawing but the little guy in the front row is farting as is illustrated by the green wavy lines coming out of the seat of his pants. All the students are making various comments and I'm demanding, "Who did that?!"

Ummm...yeah!

Don't goof off or shout out but if you like writing essays, go right ahead!

Good advice!

It's SPELLING SENTENCE SATURDAY!!!! As everyone remembers, writing sentences for each spelling word can be incredibly boring. However, there are always a few students who view this task as an opportunity to amuse their teacher. These are their sentences. My comments follow in parentheses.

embrace: You can embrace your fear. (Good to know.)

curtsy: I looked very curtsy in my dress. (I think she means cutesy, and good for her with the positive self-evaluation!)

instant: I had instant karma. ("Instant karma" is a favorite in our class.)

children: The children were very rowdy. (Um, yeah they were!)

control: Get under control, people! (I feel this way every day!)

control: I can control Mrs. B. (Hmmm...interesting.)

The next two come from the same girl (a gifted student, no less.)

district: District is an interesting word, and I don't know what it means. (At least she's learned how to write a compound sentence.)

merchant: I can't think of a sentence for merchant. (Technically, this is a sentence. Well done.)

Do not make Miss B angry. You will not like her when she's angry.

True! Remember my "teacher voice" I had to use this year?
