If you still need tickets to the Thanksgiving Dance, they are being scalped in front of the cafeteria. Just a heads up.

p.s. Get ‘em while they’re hot.  The dance starts in 10 minutes.

‎2 kids wrassling in the hall fell into the water fountain…busted the main water pipe….water spilling into all the classrooms….fist fights and dance-offs breaking out….
10 more minutes until Thanksgiving break.

too sweet.

I LOVE THESE LITTLE DUDES!!!

You know what rules?


1. When an 11th grader attempts to be a smart-ass to the substitute teacher in front of the whole class, but his voice cracks instead.


2. “Fungi causes pneumonia, tinea corporis & Canada.”


… Not only did this teacher accept this “Fun-gi Fact,” but he stapled it to the bulletin board.

A few things about this Ft. Lauderdale middle school:

1.  The Asst. Principal: has a blow-out, is 24ish and the Jewish version of Pauly D. L’Chaim!

2. The aforementioned Asst. P literally DJ’s the cafeteria for lunch. Yeah, you heard me.

3. Every 6th grader knows all the lyrics AND dance moves to “Single Ladies.”

This kinda stuff MAKES my life.  Also, magnet programs are the ONLY way to teach middle schools.

Loving Mr. T’s 5th grade classroom. It’s littered with “Pure Protein” bars, Raiders posters and tennis balls. Key West shot glass and “Especially for Men” vitamins conveniently located in his top drawer. Oh yeah…just found a worn-out TOOL cd.

Giovanni, 10 years old, told me during attendance that he prefers to be called “The Situation” or “Pauly D.”  I told him he definitely needs to choose one, as there is a major difference.  Later, I asked him to spell “fist-pump” during “Spelling Baseball.”  He answered correctly and I told him it’s “Pauly D” from here on out.

Also: I think the little dude might be a bit of a poser. I detected a hint of Latin flair when he spoke…(But I won’t reveal his secret as kids can be so cruel. Ya feel me, dawg?!)

5th Grader: Miss O, how come you gots such perfect white teeth?!
Me: Well, I don't know, Best Fifth Grader Ever...how did you get an extra 10 minutes of play time?

Today a student accidentally grabbed my boob while he was eagerly trying to ask me a question. His post-boobage facial expression can best be described as an exact mix of: “I’m holding in a Shart…the….best….i…can ” and “I got up to pee in the middle of the night and saw “The Ring” girl in the bathroom mirror.”
