Journal Gems Part Deux

I finally got around to reading through all the journals and some did not disappoint.

I finished reading L.'s journal (the boy who gave us the gems of proper English Lady and "Hey laaaady!"). When asked to write about his favorite thing about Valentine's Day, he said: "Valentine's day is a day of love. My favorite thing to do in v-day is make out. Joke. It's dance." With what he said last time I have a difficult time believing that he is joking. Come on guys, you're 12! Go play with dolls or something equally child-like.

K., who always sings this song from The Hangover whenever he's with his friends, said "I am a cat. I hiss and purr and meow! I love to claw the couch and eat cat chow. I'M A CAT!!" I'm imagining that this was a song going through his head. Oh, man this kid is classic.

Another K. said, "Freaking girls! Telling people things that I didn't even say! They can be so irritating sometimes. They can be cool but most of the time they are freaking annoying!" I hear ya. Girls are annoying until you're at least 18. Keep that in mind little buddy!

I don't think I mentioned this but in order to get our kids to really care about the math test they did amazing on, we had a pop party for any kid who got 80% or above or made significant progress.

One kiddo decided to take all the left overs to make this concoction:

Then he drank it while the rest of the class chanted "Chug, chug, chug, chug..." What a great Friday.
