The students are writing about Martin Luther King Jr. and two boys called me over to help them spell the word assassinate. I spelled it for them and then they typed it out and then I walked away...
Ten minutes later I walk back over there and still see the same sentence minus the work assassinate and asked them why they only had two words down and deleted the assassinate. Then one boy points a finger at a kid from another group and said "he deleted the word assassinate!" and I asked why, and that other boy goes they were deleting the -inate part so it would just be ass ass (but he spelled it out of course :). So then he was like I had to delete it because the people are watching! There are people inside our computers or people monitoring them and I saved you from getting into a lot trouble! Then the boy just looked at him in a simple, oh thanks... I understand.

Love is in the air... In the third grade
I have been really bad about posting on here, I tried once, but felt that my post was unfair because I was judging my first few days in a new classroom too quickly.
Now, two weeks have gone by and I'm adjusting and liking it more. I work in a third grade classroom in a great elementary school. I've never worked with third graders before and had a hard time adjusting at first, but now am slowly beginning to enjoy it.
Any who, today the third graders had their Valentine's Day party since they have tomorrow off, and boy was it chaotic!
The cutest statement I heard was, during recess I was playing with wedgits with this girl and then this boy comes running over, I just gave _______ my phone number!!!!!!!!!! And he's really excited and it was pretty cute. Then two minutes later.... you hear ________ "why did you give me your phone number?" Ugh... awkward pause, so you can call me sometime if you want. Then the girl just goes away. It was pretty adorable.
Then that boy was talking about his snow days and what he did with me and the other girl playing with the wedgits and he's like yeah my friend came over but not my girlfriend. Then the girl was like wait, you have a girlfriend?? Then he said yeah.. and she asked who, and then she was like oh is ____ (girl he just gave number to) your girlfriend?? and he said yes. That is very un-true, but a cute story none the less.
