In my second class, the sentences were going pretty smoothly, they weren't getting lost in the string of players. Then Eagle, a pretty *ahem* lively student (I really like him, he participates when the activities intrigue him but I have to talk him into putting the air soft gun away every class), started a sentence that made the students around him throw there hands up in the air, grab their faces and hair, laugh uncontrollably and one student (Tiger) ran into a wall to avoid passing it along to the girl next to him.
Every student giggled, covered their face or tried to spell the sentence instead of saying it.
The sentence? "I love you."
Well... that sounds pretty much like kids everywhere, pretty universal. So is "Eagle" a nickname?
ReplyDeleteThey all pick "English" names. I have a student named Starcraft and a few Lions and Dragons. Candy is a popular girl's name.
ReplyDeleteInteresting... I hope at least some of the girls have more high flying names than Candy.
ReplyDeleteDepends on what you mean by high flying. If you mean in the mythical or literal sense the way the boys are using Dragon or Eagle, then no. But one of my students named herself Tree, and she's the tiniest person and usually very quiet but she's patient and smart.
ReplyDeleteStarcraft? Is one of your kids naming himself "poopsock"? How about "72 hour LAN party" or "Gamer Stench"? Those would work well.
ReplyDeleteHaha! '72 Hour LAN Party' will probably be in my next class.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog post sarah! Too funny!
