A 5th grade student today realized the following:
"Ms. Lady, if my name is Maggie Fernandez, then my initials are inappropriate." Uhhh...can you elaborate? "You know....MF....MFer...."
Yeah, Maggie, I guess they are. And I guess it is a sweet day when a 12 year old is telling you what is and isn't appropriate.
All of this came about during a wild round of Balderdash, which is pretty much my favorite thing to do when the lesson plan ends early. I was playing a round once with my middle schoolers and a student chose the word "impala." The dictionary said only that it was an African antelope, but one of my 8th graders knew better:
"Oooohhh! I know this one, its a sweet car."
