OP My friend Milo told me that I should start posting my teacher experiences here because during the last year only two teachers posted in this section of A Word A Day and so it won't matter if my stories are uninteresting and trivial.
Yesterday my third grader Michael, who is a sweetheart, turned in a writing assignment about upcoming events.
He wrote, "I'm so excited, my birthday's gone."
I said, " Michael, you are excited because your birthday's gone?"
"No, No, Miss Thomas, I meant coming, Miss Thomas. My birthday is coming!"
So then I came home and baby sat my three-year-old innocent granddaughter who said,
"Grandmother, you are beautiful! Have you lost some fat?"
Kids. We must teach them adult language.
