I have a student who is always waiting for a moment to lead the class into the depths of insanity. Sometimes i have to stop myself from laughing with them. today was one of those days. i was showing my students how to use ebsco (an online data base to use for research) and i was using the scroll button to make the screen larger. -if you don't know this trick it's amazing hit ctrl and use the mouse to scroll up and it magnifies the screen- someone from the back of the room shouts "how did you do that" so i tell them about this trick that i think is wonderful. and i happen to say "well you use this button and it gets bigger and bigger" and this student we'll call him CrazyPants McGee says in this very small but still noticeable voice...that's what she said. Normally i would send him out of the room and scold him for being inappropriate. but today.. today i just stopped, looked, and held back a giggle.
it's these moments that i'm so glad that i don't teach 3rd graders.
