Funny things my students say:

I have been grading their essays on why Global Warming is a hoax. So far, these arguments are the most memorable:

"Global Warming can't be true because a few years ago America and Russia experienced the Cold War."

"Global Warming can't be true because Al Gore said the ice caps will melt and flood the earth. This won't happen because God promised Noah that the earth wouldn't flood again."

Oh those are hilarious! I can not wait to get essays like that! Looks like teaching is going well for you... Just wondering if you have had your student's diagram sentences yet? Are they Grammar Gods yet?

I am just sitting here trying to imagine you reading my post to your middle school class! I am also imagining how I could be half as amazing as you. Seriously! You are dynamite. I cannot tell you how much the card meant to me. See-in the midst of your crazy busy life, you sit down and write me a card-amazing! If you are putting on any clinics on how to be AMAZING, I am there! Love you!

ps. YES, on the Grandma Polly get-together. Lets plan it asap. Let me know when is good for you.
