Everyone's a Critic

Today in class I was reading an article about skunks to the class. The article was saying that most animals have muted coats, but skunks have flashier coloring. I was trying to explain, through the use of context, what muted meant.

Me:I have a jean jacket on and a black dress. I am wearing muted colors.
Student: You don't match?

Who's the Teacher, Now?

Me: Did you get those stickers from the library?
Charlie: Liberry
Me: No, it is called Library.
Charlie: Say Li
Me: Li
Charlie: Berry
Me: Berry. But it's not called liberry. It's called the library.
Charlie: No, it's called liberry.
Me: Hey. look over there! Is that a dinosaur?

Avery and Charlie

Also known as The Mini Me's since they both look exactly like their father.

Teamwork!

Getting Some Input on My Lesson for Tomorrow

Our New Mascot

This hawk has visited us a few times. And every time I have tried to get a picture, he sees me in the window, and flies away. Today, luck was with me, and I was able to get a few shots. I apologize for the lack of focus, but as usual, my camera was on the wrong setting and I was trying to get pictures before he flew away.

My Brush with (Lost) Greatness

I had the most random conversation today. As I was leaving school, a guy stopped me and informed me he was on the Olympic rugby team and needed to warm up. He was *very* sure his practice was at the school. I am *very* sure that in a school where 98% of the people are women, I would have heard about the Olympic rugby team practicing.
