1. Early this week as I was lecturing my students on creating introductory paragraphs I noticed that there was a very crumpled note being passed around my classroom. I quickly grabbed the note, much to the students' dismay. A bunch of my students' eyes were really wide as I was going to open it, but I didn't really think twice about it because this has happened before. As my students got started on their group work, I opened the note. Only to find that one of my students had drawn a pretty detailed naked picture. I almost guiltily looked up at my students, now my eyes were as wide as theirs.
2. Yesterday close to the end of the day my students were again working in groups, and I was walking around the classroom to check in on their progress. I noticed that one of my students had something very odd in his pencil case: powdered vagisil. Hesitant to interrupt their work I did not investigate further. About ten minutes later I pulled up a chair to work with a different group, accidentally turning my back to some of the students in the classroom. Chaos erupted behind me. Next thing I knew students had powder all over them and my classroom was a dust bowl of vagisil. Students with asthma had to leave the room. It was disgusting, chaotic, and absolutely hilarious. I could not do anything but laugh. None of them have any idea what vagisil is and I think that this was the best part!
Over winter break my sisters suggested that I write a partner blog to this blog called "Happy Hour with the Teacher," after this week I am seriously considering it.
Stay tuned!

I am glad you were able to laugh at these things Zoe. Keep collecting these stories. It should make a good book.
