Self talk
Overheard during reading, working on self monitoring comprehension:
N: “But how DO I know?”
#mood
Writing transactional texts:
E using the heart craft punch: “I’m not doing a heart card, I just need it for a creepy design.”
Later:
“I’m not going to do a heart, I’m going to do a vortex. Not a heart – more like an empty hole where his heart should be.”
Getting to know me
Overheard at 4/5 sport:
A: “I hate bugs. That’s the main thing about me.”
Not all heroes wear capes
Yard duty, preppie with cut on hand…
Me: “You’re being so tough!”
Preppie (tearfully): “Even tough guys need band-aids.”
Challenge level
Assessing a task difficulty level:
M: “It’s easy/hard. Like, I can do it but I’ll actually have to think.”
mmm, noodle soup
A: “hey Jess. Do you know what? Today you kind of smell like noodles…or maybe I’m just hungry.”
(This happened + my hello fresh recipe was actual noodle soup + the FRIENDS re-reun was the ‘mmm, noodle soup’ episode. It’s the little things)
Star treatment
Finishing yard duty and heading off to eat lunch…
Preppie: “I know where you’re going! The star room!”
Wheelin’ and dealin’
Overheard:
“It cost 5 grand!!”
“I can give you, like, 4 dollars.”
Choices
Choosing paper:
“Pink is NOT a girl’s colour. There is no boy or girl colour, right Jessica?”
