I happened upon a twitter hashtag of #CelebrateMonday. It got me thinking about my Monday, my students, and my classroom. Here are some of the comments that I remember students saying today that made me smile. There were many, but these are the ones that came to mind as I was thinking about my Monday. These are in no particular order!
1. Can't I just stay here with you? Your room is my happy place. (This came from one of my low-level remediation math students!) This was probably my #1 #CelebrateMonday comment.
2. Who knew that fractions made things easier? (I wasn't going to bust her bubble and say that I knew! Students were working with fractional exponents.)
3. I love radicals within radicals. (One of my 8th graders shouted out as I he was working on a team check with his team.)
4. Why can't all teacher's teach this way?
5. Math counts, BABY! (I gathered that one of our middle school math counts teams did very well this weekend!)
6. Rational exponents are HARD! Time to rewatch the video! (said to the "Time to make the donuts, theme!)
7. Thanks for caring, Mrs. McGowan! You are like our mom!
8. I hope we have an early dismissal, BUT after this class, of course! (and no, we didn't have an early dismissal.)
9. Student 1: Can't we just abolish Mondays?
Student 2: Then Tuesdays will become the new Monday.
So, as several of my teaching hero's say, "You got a day here! Make it a great one!"
