School

This week my class is reading the story "The Go Around Dollar".  This is a pretty confusing story where a little fiction story about a dollar being circulated is mixed in with huge descriptive non-fiction paragraphs about money.  
While at the back table we had read that only dead people get their faces on money.  So one girl goes "Oh, so when my grandma dies, she'll be on the dollar!" and I said "No, only famous people get on money like Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea"  so then my other student goes "Travis Pastrana!" and I said "He's not dead!"  Maybe that was only funny if you were there.  
While passing a fellow teacher I asked if she had watched "The Hills".  Later that day a little girl came up to me and says "Ohhh my mom watches the Hills.  I know all the characters: Lauren, Heidi, Spencer, Audrina... and that's all I know!"

Needless to say, my class spends their time watching MTV at night.  

Love, Mrs. P
