Pop Quiz Baby!

Me da risa que cada vez que me toca hacer o dar un examen/pruebin yo me empiezo a preparar mentalmente.

Pienso que preguntas serian perfectas.
Que no sea muy largo, que no sea muy corto.
Que fulanita siempre termina rapido.
Que fulanito siempre escribe mucho al menos que no le ponga un limite.
Que tengo que mover las sillas.

Ahora, con esta MEGA aula me encuentro con tanto espacio...

it's almost EVIL

separarlos con 3 a 4 pie de distancia por todos lados.

los mejores atras.

Yo busco una silla alta y me siento atras de todos.

Observo... como Zeus desde el Monte Olimpo.

Me quito los zapatos.

Y voy... lentamente hacia donde ellos, me paro detras de ellos y observo.

Dejo salir un simple WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? con cualquier mirada o movimiento raro ... como Zeus tirando un truenazo!

MUAHAHAHA

I'm Evil

and

¿Y el frutero?

Aqui uno no se da cuenta de las vainas hasta que dice "diablo quisiera un plato de piña con miel" y despues viene la pregunta

Buehh ... y no es quejandome en si pq aqui hay luz, agua, aire a toda hora. pero wow, q falta de dominicanismo hehehe

Stickers & Stamps

Remember pre-school?

When a teacher would stamp a Happy Face or Sad Face on your hand to indicate your behavior that day?

Why is it that kids loved it so much?

I honestly don't know.

But...

You know what I don't get either?

WHY IS IT THAT I LOVE STICKERS AND STAMPS SO MUCH ?!?!?!

I LOST MY STICKERS !

Where are they?

How am I supposed to say GOOD JOB without a sticker ?!?!!?

...

i'm lost

TV Shows

Although I watch Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl ... I think TV is lacking some good substance these past few years ...

Do any of you remember Under the Umbrella Tree ?

or Fraggle Rock ?

Muppet Babies ?


Those were some good shows that actually taught something and were FUN.

I wish I could see Under the Umbrella Tree again.

scary moment

you know what's scary?

you are sitting in your chair

then you stretch backwards

and you stretch a bit more

and then you hear that CLICK that means "chair is not supposed to go this far"

and you have that moment when fear flashes through your face

you think you are about to fall

it just happened

Beach Clean Up!

How they understood ethnicity & race...

I have been trying to get my 7th graders to distinguish RACE and ETHNICITY.

After talking to my wife about this, she came up with a pretty cool (and simple!) idea.

I carried out this activity today.

It's been several weeks and they still had issues understanding the difference, therefore I couldn't begin to even introduce the Palestinian and Israelite issue in the Middle East.

After today's activity one of my kids says: "ohhhh like the Palestine and Israel people!"

My eyes must have sparkled.

I'm pretty sure a tear nearly made it out.

My smile would have been more powerful than the yellow sun and Superman would've been even more invincible ...

Then he said, "Like in the Zohan movie!"

And then he began to imitate Adam Sandler's last failure in movies, You Don't Mess With the Zohan.

Oh well

Zohan - 1
Me - 0

Double-Sided Tape?

- Teacher, do you have some tape I could borrow?

- I got Scotch tape, Masking Tape, and double-sided tape.

- Hmmm, I'll take some double-sided tape.

- Here you go.

... he goes off for a couple of minutes and comes back ...

- Which side of the double-sided tape has the tape?

- It's double-sided tape.

... he stares at me ...

- So, which side?

Sugar & ... Cream?

I never add cream to my coffee...

I've lowered my coffee intake to just one mug.

I didn't have breakfast today.

I couldn't find anything to snack with this morning.

I took a 2nd mug of coffee and said, "well, I might as well add some cream to give it some WEIGHT."

I take the cream and see it has a "Dulce de Leche" flavoring ... AWEsome!!!

I throw some in there, I mix it, and I head to my classroom!aula ...

I sip a bit...

I sip another bit...

hmmm

the ONE day I put cream in my coffee it seems someone put NESQUIK in the cream jar...

wonderful, bitter chocolate with bitter coffee

2- i got even more excited when a student gave me 4 post-it pads of different colors.

3- i was ecstatic when i was given markers in 7 different colors

4- i went insane when i was given this wall map for my classroom
