In classroom news, our new science unit is living things. I was pleasantly surprised to find out 80% of the class could figure out that pencils are not living and will not in fact grow when placed in soil and given water. Some of them are not exactly sure whether gravel will grow into some sort of rocky tree, but I'll give them that. They are 8.
I wish pencils would grow. Isn't that a cool image? Little tendrils growing out of your pencil? Maybe the fluorescent bulbs are really jars of lightning bugs? Maybe a soft spoken angelic teacher instead of the slightly annoyed and talking loudly from her diaphragm teacher that is currently inhabiting the c-room.
Do you think my kids would behave if I wore a tight bun, tartan dressing gown, and could transfigure myself into a tabby with eyeglass markings?
Love, Kaley
In other good news, while searching the net, I found this little gem.
