Readers,
Apologies for my absence...things have been busy lately!
Today I gave a Quest for Knowledge. A quest, for those not in the know, is somewhere in between the length of a quiz and a test.
Student enters the room late, everyone else is already working on the Quest.
Student: Miss, what is this? We got a test today?
Me: Nope. It's a Quest. for Knowledge. Somewhere in between a quiz and a test.
Student: Miss, that's pretty smooth.
Me: I know. like butter.
Student: Miss, I'm gonna do this just because you're wavy.
I'm glad my "wavy" factor and the excellent naming of my assessments inspires my kids to work hard.
Also, I was out on Friday at a Professional Development, and since I've been battling an epic cold, some kids assumed I was 1) playing an April Fool's joke or 2) taking a sick day. A concerned student texted me on Friday afternoon saying "Miss, where were you today?" I texted her back and explained my absence. "Oh ok, I'll see you Monday miss. I miss you". ......totally adorable.
