Mr. C. believes

Sorry I'm late the traffic was just awful.

No problem.

My dad was swearing 'cause the traffic was so bad. He said....

:no: No no no, I don't need to know.

What's the date? November 25? Really?

Yup. One month til Christmas..

:angel: Ohhhh...I wuv Kwismuss. :heart:

I bet you do.

What if it was Christmas right now and Santa came in and walked around and looked at all us good little girls and boys? :angel:

He'd come over and look at your binder and say, "Hmm, Mr. C. Were you a good boy this year? Oh, this page looks a little sloppy."

:lol: Nah , he wouldn't do that. Then I'd only get a lump of coal. That would really suck.

Yes it would. Unless you were an artist and then you could draw some great pictures with the coal.

Yeah? You could do that? Just draw draw draw with a lump of coal? Yeah, I guess you could.

:wait:

Wouldn't it be so cool to be magical?

You mean like Santa?

Yeah, wouldn't that be the best thing. Yeah it would be. Magic. Just magic. And the elves. Working in the shop. That would be a cool job. I wonder how much they get paid?

Probably room and board. They should start a union.

I wonder. Hmm.

You know what I wonder? I wonder if Santa is actually Chinese.

Chinese? How could he be Chinese, he lives in the North Pole! That's just silly.

Well, maybe he moved there because it was cheaper to run his factory there. I mean, how come on all the toys you get from Santa it says "Made in China" on the bottom?

Oh, the elves write that on there. Made...in ...China...Just like that. Really small. It's to trick everybody so they don't know where Santa's workshop really is. Could you imagine if everyone found out where it was? It'd be crazy. Just crazy man!

:wait:

I wonder if Santa makes any of the toys himself? Do you think? Maybe he makes a few just to keep in practice. I bet he does all the other stuff, you know management and accounting all that legal stuff.

:rolleyes:


Mr. T and Sheila

,

What's the B stand for in Ms. B?

B******

Oh. Why don't your students call you that?

They find it easier to say Ms. B.

Oh.

What's your real name?

Ms. B.

That's not a real name. Like, what does your mom call you?

Ms. B.

I don't believe that.

Sure, and I call her Mrs. B.

Well, I'm not doing any work until you tell me your real name.

Well, I guess you're going to have a lot of homework then.

That's fine with me cause I'm not budging. :knight:

Ha. There's not a chance you can outwait me. I'm too powerful. :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, just watch me. *folds arms across chest*

Start please.

No!

Start please. :wait:

Your name is Sheila isn't it? I think I heard my mom say that. It's Sheila...isn't it?

I'm not saying. I don't like students to know my real name.

Yeah, it's Sheila.

Okay okay. It's Sheila. Just don't tell anyone okay?

Why not?

It's just that I don't really like my name, so can you keep it a secret? :whistle:

No problem. Okay, what are we doing?

:devil:

Mr.C the linguist

Wouldn't it be funny if jabba was a word?

Jabba?

Yah, jabba! It sounds funny doesn't it?

jabba jabba jabba..yes it's pretty funny all right.

I could have my own language and jabba would be one of my words.

What does it mean?

Well, you could say, "Have a jabba day!" And that would mean you had an awesome day. Fantastic!

:lol: You crack me up.

How would you spell it?

It's your word, you spell it.

Hmm. j-a-b-a. How's that look?

Hmm. Not bad. What do you think? Is that a short vowel?

Yeah, maybe the 'b' should be doubled because in my language the 'a' would be a suffix and it is 'a' which is a vowel and so the suffix begins with a vowel.

That's a jabba reason. :smile:

:lol: I did jabba today!

Yes you did.

Hey, what are you doing? Are you writing this down? What I'm saying?

:rolleyes: But it's so jabba!

:jester:

So my Super Mario came today and my mom says I can't try on the moustache and then I can't get a picture then for you to see the costume so yeah I can't try it on...

But you tried on the rest?

yeah but not the moustache but the stomach is cool because Mario is kinda fat and then the stomach pumps up it's kinda like a balloon and you pump it up blow it up with some air over your stomach like this but I can't do the moustache so you can't see it.

So you can wear the moustache for Halloween though?

Well, if your mom takes a picture I'd love to see it , is it a pretty cool costume?

Yeah it's pretty sweet.

Yeah, and there's spots on it too.

Uh yeah I guess. But I can't wear my moustache yet. You know there's some houses that give out cans of pop? Like whole cans of pop!

When your brain is stretched it doesn't have anywhere to go, so it gets a little sore I think. :rolleyes:

Mr. C writes a paragraph

Spongebob Squarepants is my favorite show. It has really cool characters. Mr. Crabs is weird and he loves money. Patrick is kind of stupid and he lives under a rock. Sandy is cool. Spongebob lives in a pineapple. This is why it is such an awesome show!


Are you sure this is finished?

Yup. It's great!

What about Sandy? Can you add any more details?

Nope , it makes sense to me.

Why is Sandy cool?

Just because she is.

Sandy is cool because...

Nope. Just gonna put a period here. That means stop.

:whistle: Okay. So. Do you want to do a final copy in your best printing?

Of course!
