A funny way to start a week

Last week, I challenged my wonderful 6th grade students to do their best to make me laugh!  

I have included a few of my favorites below, but more will come out in weeks to come.  

I just heard about a restaurant called Karma. There is no menu.  You get what you deserve...

When do astronauts eat???  At launch-time!

So my friends said "what rhymes with orange..." I said..."No it doesn't..."

How do trees get into a Chromebook?  They log on...

A thief broke into my house last night and started searching for money, so I woke up and started searching with him...

Beyond jokes, everyone has been doing fantastic work on their Digital Timeline projects. We will continue to work on our timelines this week and next.  Grades for Empowered Learner will be posted this week, based on everyone's hard work on their Food Truck projects.   An empowered learner is one that can take an active role in their learning, use technology and make choices to show what they know and what they can create.  A behavior grade for this project will also be posted. Remember these grades serve as a check-in, but will be entered as no-count.  These grades cannot bring down anyone's great Digital Literacy grade, but can be counted to bring up a grade.  An added note: I will be reaching out to a few students this week to ask permission to share some great examples on this blog and with the Norski Network team. If you receive and email from me, please respond before Wednesday of this week.  Your work will need to be sent to Ms. Clarke for inclusion by then. 

I miss all of my students so much!  It probably goes without saying, but it is my students that make me a teacher.  While I see everyone during our office hours, and I have been talking with everyone through email, I still very much miss seeing everyone's smiling faces and hearing your ideas in person.  Stay strong and safe!
