Marking the roll:
B: “Today has not started too well.”
Me: “Oh really? What happened?”
B: “Oh nothing, I just always wanted to say that.”

#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.”
In my day…
Going home from an excursion in an older bus. Some of the kids were concerned there were no seat belts. I reassured the group sitting near me that when I was young, we never had seat belts in buses and as long as we were sitting safely I’m sure we’d be fine. One of the boys trying to explain to someone who hadn’t heard me, calling out for clarification…
“Hey Jessica, tell us the story of when you were a little girl and your bus had no seat belts…”
Testing…
Spelling test:
Me: “their.”
Gr2: “Which one?”
Me, uses it in a sentence.
Gr2: “yeah, but, is it the one with the ‘i’?”
