Post-Snow Day

I always have a little trepidation after snow days, because who knows how worked up the kids will be, or if they got any sleep, or where they spent the day if their parents had to work, etc, etc. Here's a couple of snippets from today:

-One student arrived late to reading group, settled into independent work, and started softly singing "Beat It" to himself, in a soft Vietnamese accent. "Just beat it, beat it"

-Another student came up to me and asked me if I thought she sounds more like a Dalek or a Cyberman. "Well, I don't know, Julia," I replied. "You don't really sound like either."

"How about now, Mr. Graham?" she grinned. "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"
