Journal Entry
Just before Winter Break I had my student write in their journals about their families. I asked them to tell me who lived in their household and give their ages.
One of my girls wrote this:
My house is a one story house. I live by Will C. Wood Middle School. I live with my mom-old, my dad-old, my grandma-very old, my grandpa-very old, and my little sister-10 years old...

Failed Photos
The people have spoken and unanimously asked for me to keep pilfering from Fail Blog. In effort to keep everyone happy if I plan to post several at once I will do so in a link so you won't be forced to view the pictures against your will. I don't want anyone to feel inundated with unwanted laughter.
I have organized my selections into themes. However, there were several pictures from 2009 I thought were funny that didn't fit into my categories. For the literate there were some story ones that were pretty hilarious too. Enjoy.
Happy New Year!

Lawyering
These are from a book called 'Disorder in the American Courts' and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.
