A List

Update on Monday: while packing my lunch I managed to slice right through my thumbnail instead of slicing through the homemade bread I was attempting to pack. Now I am wearing a giant bandaid on my thumb. It was a true Monday after all. :)

For today's entertainment, it is late and I need to go to bed, so you get a list:

Actual topics our 4th grade students are researching for a non-fiction feature article (some humorous, some quite thoughtful):

• Did dinosaurs that looked like dragons exist?
• Elephant killing
  
• How fast can the Denver Nuggets run?
• Gang violence in Mexico
• The history of Halloween
• BMX biking
• Famous pranksters and hoaxes
• How to discover a new planet

Things I do that impress my students that I don't find impressive:

• Attached hooks to the computer monitors so I could hang headphones from them. I literally made several 3rd grade girls' days with this simple feat.
• Rattled off a 3rd grader's full name, hyphenated last name and all.
• Type very fast without looking at the keys
