life and times and chuckie cheese

Today, I checked my kids' writing notebooks for a random notebook check. Turns out my wonderful student, K, wrote a very succinct, haiku-like response last night in his notebook. The picture is provided because it helps to capture the intensity in which this was written. The assignment? Describe your week in 20 words or less. This had been a warm-up he had missed from a previous lesson, so I guess he decided to go back and make it up. K went over the word count, understandably. He had a big week.

I read this today and just laughed, because it's so K. First of all, he has written multiple pages explaining key events in U.S. History, and in the same token, he wrote in big letters so that half the page wouldn't be left blank with his 20-word assignment. Second of all, he occupied an entire page to write a warm-up he missed from a random day. This, my friends, is why kids are hilarious.

I have so many questions!

1. How do you pull a muscle at Chuckie Cheese?

2. Where IS there a Chuckie Cheese in NY?

3. Why was my student at a Chuckie Cheese?

4. Do they still have those creepy robotic animals?

I love my job. LOVE my job.
