One of the things I am challenging myself with during this year's Slice of Life Challenge is to write some more poetry...My friend Cathy is good at poetry...I am not very good at poetry. I think most of the time I am simply centering the words on the page and hoping it LOOKS like a poem even if it doesn't SOUND like one! Be that as it may...here's what 8th grade was up to this morning! Be kind...
Have
you ever tried to be sneaky?
Have
you ever tried to be sneaky
with
twenty three
8th graders in tow?
Let
me tell you, it's a bit of a challenge!
A
representative from a local high school visited yesterday
and left a goodie bag for my 8th
grade students
with
pencils and a s'more kit inside!
 |
| What a nice gesture! |
We
had a bit of free time in our morning today,
so
we took a
secret
spy
mission
down to the kitchen
 |
| Aw man! My graham cracker broke! |
 |
| You notice the size difference at 8th grade! |
 |
| Don't forget which one is yours! |
to
put the
crackers
and
chocolate
and
marshmallows
together
on a baking sheet and
pop
them into the oven.
The
girls had guard duty at the door...
practicing
their Charlie's Angels pose.
(Although,
I don’t think they know who Charlie’s Angels are...
and
I am fine with that!)
Of
course,
someone
had to turn the lights
off
at
some point
in the process
causing
all kinds of
squeals
hoots
and
hollers.
Long
story
short…
We
had a great time…
And
I hope we have…
S’more!
(Snort!)
Fun, great way to tell the story!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I struggled for a slice today, but we really did have fun with this unexpected treat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever post. I really enjoyed your poem--and it truly is poetry. That's the great thing about poetry--you really don't have to follow any rules. Your words made me feel like I went on a S'mores journey too (minus the calories). ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to transform a slice! It looks like you all had a fabulous time. I bet your students remember today for a long time to come.
