sunday's "so they said"

well this week I must say my favorite words that came out of my middle schooler's mouths

were them singing the lyrics to a Bill of Rights song

we sang this song every day this week

and I truly think my evil plan is working

I bribed them with some extra-credit on their next test

for every day they sang the song they got a stamp on their song lyrics

each stamp gets them a point

win win

and even though they liked to gripe before we started singing

 they sure did chime in pretty quickly

especially once I started obnoxiously with the first line

now no, this isn't my class

it is actually my aunt's class picture from back in the day

look at those rows and perfectly folded hands

priceless

and because my district is pretty old

several of my classrooms have been laid out just like this

sink, cabinets, and bulletin boards in the exact same position!

tomorrow I'm off to the city with great friends, antiquing, & a visit with my sister

three day weekends are truly the best
