Special

Here is a card I received today:

"Feliz Navidad"

"You're special"

I love my job. 

Deck the Halls

During practice for our school-wide Winter Sing:

Student: "Deck the halls with balls of holly, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!"

Me: "Oh, it's actually, 'fa la la la la', not 'blah blah blah blah blah.'"

I did not try to get into saying "boughs" instead of "balls."  You pick your battles.

Fun Fact

Student One: "Maestra Robin, do you want to know a fun fact?"
Me: "Sure!"
Student One: "If you wanted to go to space it would take you a hundred MILLION years to get there!"
Student Two: To student one, in all seriousness "Have you been there?"
Student One: "No, but someone told me that."

Telling

Student: To another child in behind him in line "I'm TRIPLE telling on you!!"

Holidays

Student: "Oh, Maestra Robin, I forgot to tell you that I don't celebrate St. Patrick's day so that's why I'm not going to sing the Rudolph song."
