What Have I Done?

When my second graders come in from their lunch recess, I enjoy reading to them for a few minutes before we dive into Math.  This year, I started with the book shown here, Miss Daisy is Crazy.

If you haven't read it, it is about a second grader named A. J.   He hates school.  Miss Daisy says she hates school, too.  A. J. doesn't like Reading or Math.  Neither does Miss Daisy.  The kids realize they are going to have to teach their teacher the things she needs to know to keep her job.

Miss Daisy's class decides they want to buy the school so they can turn it into a video arcade.  They ask Principal Klutz if that will be okay.  He said he could not do that but he would rent it to them for an evening if they read a million pages of books.

Today, my Principal, Mr. Snider, walked through our room with our district's Chief Academic Officer.  I was conferencing with a student while our guests chatted with the rest of the class.  I never dreamed it would happen, but my kids asked asked Principal Snider if they could buy the school and turn it into a video arcade.  I'll keep you posted.
