Today’s slice/s is/are brought to you by my brilliant students. Their perspectives are just so much more interesting than mine.
Student A: Kristina, can you look for my tooth after school? I lost it yesterday. It fell out of my bag. It should be by where I sit and it’s about the same size as this one (pointing to his mouth).
Students A and B: We made this poster for Who Would Win: Hornet vs. Wasp, and we would rate this book five out of five stingers.
Student A: Kristina, I thought that this cursive J was an F. I read it, Fack, instead of, Jack! (insert teacher cringe…)
Student A: The only detention that I would want to do is the detention of recess. Then I would only have to practice recess. That’s what you do in detention.
Student A: I can’t go outside for recess today because I don’t have my outside shoes. I only have my airport shoes. You know… my handsome shoes.
Student A (drawing a picture): I just don’t know what the body of a panda looks like.
Student B: It’s short and round, I think.
Student C: But not as short as a sun bear.
Student A: Yeah, not as short as a sun bear.
In possibly related news, today is the International Day of Happiness. I hope you got to celebrate!
Writing and Laughing 
It’s really about how you listen! We talk to kids about seeing the world through a writer’s eyes, and you’ve demonstrated listening to the world through a writer’s ears and heart!

I laughed out loud at the “airport shoes” comment. Do you by chance teach 1st grade?

Ha! Yup, first and second. That particular comment was totally from a first grader.

These are my favorite types of posts. My daughter, who is nine, said the same thing about an earring she lost at school. (In relation to your student who talked about her tooth.)
