I was out sick yesterday. This was the first time my class had a sub this year...

Leila: (incredulously) That sub just kept TELLING us the answers to everything.

Reed: Yeah! And you KNOW how we like a challenge!
Sorry for the gap in posts...my internet has been out for more than a week!

Reed: (randomly sharing information that is not related to anything we were doing at the time) There's only one thing that scares me and that's Barney. That dude's creepy. And when did DINOSAURS learn to sing?!

Mrs. B: (speaking to Cassidy) Your hair looks really cute today.

Clayton: (who sits next to Cassidy and has very messy hair) Thank you!

Mrs. B: (during our daily math practice) Okay, Aspen, how did you write the date today?

Aspen: Well, today I wrote it using words...(pause for dramatic effect)...in cursive!

Reed: Woooooo...very fancy!

Halloween day...I decided to play a "spooky sounds" CD while the students worked on a project.

Reed: (after a particularly scary scream) Are you TRYING to make up pee our pants?!!

Mrs. B: What do you call a triangle with three equal sides?

Class: An equilateral triangle!

Mrs. B: Good! And what do you call a triangle with two equal sides?

Class: An isosceles triangle!

Mrs. B: Yes! So, what do we call a triangle with no equal sides?

(No response at all)

Mrs. B: Come on, guys! Three sides, none are the same?

(More silence)

Leila: (feeling the pressure to say something) A snibble!
