Mind Boggling

I thought this was quite interesting.

The Best Part of the Super Bowl

Depending on when you're looking at this, you may wonder how we know what the best part is since the Super Bowl hasn't even started yet. Well, we already experienced the best part yesterday...at Costco. No, we didn't buy a new flat screen or anything like that (although that would have been cool), but we did experience the most amazing gourmet samples ever! All we needed to buy was laundry detergent and we ended up getting cocoa. We were lucky, because lately the laundry detergent has been right up front, but fortunately it was in the back corner of the store. We walked all the way back and noticed that they had an unusual mix of foods for their samples. Beef tenderloin, two sausage stands, hot wings, chocolates, and more!! It was really exciting. Truly Brigham Young was correct when he said, "This is the place."

My teacher is...

At school, the 2nd grade classes rotate for about 30 minutes each day for enrichment activities that the other teacher specializes in (if you can specialize in 2nd grade curriculum, which is pretty basic). So today, my students went to another teacher who does amazing technology lessons with them, and they did a "describing words" lesson.

As part of the lesson, students were supposed to use descriptive adjectives to complete the sentence... "The sunset was a ___________ sight." My students didn't want to do that sentence, though, and they decided to complete this sentence:
"My teacher is a _______ person." Here are some of my students' responses (in the order that they were turned in to me):

~satisfying, gorgeous, lovable, glamorous, extraordinary, awesome, precious, bristly, fabulous, tantilizing, huggable, tart, glorious, fantastic, stupendous, shining, pregnit (as spelled by my student), spectacular, frantic, flabbergasted, and expanded

I know some of the kids don't know what their words mean, but I was quite amused to read their responses. These are the fun times of teaching!
