Highlights

I'm tired, so now I give you...

Highlights from today:

The 6th graders are learning clothes. For roll call, I told them to tell me one thing they were wearing. These were two responses, both from boys wearing T-shirts and jeans:

"I'm wearing a pink dress."
"I'm wearing a black bikini."

My question for them: oh, is that under your clothes, then? Ok...

Also: the problem of "F-U-C-K" and "shit." I don't know why, but this week I've been noticing kids saying these all the time. And yes, they spell the F word rather than saying it. I feel like if I react in a big way, it'll just encourage them--the reason they're saying these words, in English, is to get attention, after all. Usually I just frown at them and move on. Any hints on better solutions?

Annnd I'm going to bed.
