Out of the mouths of babes...

For two of my 8th grade math classes I have a "Daily Quiz" set up every morning to prep the students for what lies ahead in the hour. Most of the time I give them three easy-to-difficult math problems to work out. Sometimes, after (or before) a long weekend or a lazy day, I put up a non-math related inquiry, such as "What did you do over the weekend?" or "Ask Mr. V a question!" Here are a few responses:

(from Ask Mr. V a question!):

"Can I move seats?"
"Hi. Why are you tall?"
And then virtually every other question was "Why did you get a haircut?" because I had just cut my hair rather short.

(from What did you do over the weekend?):

"got beat up by brothers"

My favorite was a combination of the two:

Question for Mr. V: "Why do u call home alot?"
What did you do over the weekend: "My dad yelling at me."
