Bueno/Menos

All that grammar stuff you hated back in school -- I absolutely loved it!

Now, I teach four sections of 8th and 9th grade English and two sections of 8th grade Literature.

My day was good.

Bueno: The Literature classes had a brief unit on poetry this week. I never expected this, but the kids are really into poetry. And I most DEFINITELY didn't expect them to request a day to write their own original poems in class.

To top it all off, when I read the poems they came up with, I couldn't believe some of the creativity! As writers, these kids are making moves that had me wondering if they're really in eighth grade.

Menos: When I asked for my lunch tab total at school today, the figure was higher than I thought. It hurt!
