And here is my second installment of a long series with many more to come. This month includes a heartfelt letter, warning of an extraterrestrial invasion, and some theological commentary.
Me: Do you like celery?
Student: Yep. I'll marry it.

Naahhh I can't read those big chapter books these days. Just the little ones for now.
I love hearing all the things students say - you seriously wonder where they came up with it! I hope your teaching is going well this year! Next time I'm in Chicago, we should catch up :) Have a great weekend!
