THE THREE THOUGHTS

I have three thoughts for today after subbing at La Colina Junior High:

1) My favorite part of today was filling up the last 10 minutes or so of class with...riddles! The riddles completely held everyone's attention. I loved riddles when I was younger. Loved them. Here's the riddle of the day: The maker doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the user doesn't know he's using it. What is it?

You may only ask yes or no questions.


2) I also gained perfect control of a squirmy class full of seventh graders by taking away their privilege to work with partners on their worksheets and promising them they could regain that privilege if they worked perfectly silent for 10 minutes.

3) Quote of the day: "Mr. V, do you have any crazy jail tattoos?"
