I am having the best time right now. On Friday I assigned my class something I have never done, a skit. They have to come up with a story that has a moral or a lesson to go with the unit we have been doing. I have found myself coming up with out of the box projects for them to do as of late because they move so quickly through the curriculum.

As I write this they are rehearsing the skits they will perform tomorrow. I am excited to see them, they have definitely gotten into the spirit of the assignment, I have kids in costumes, lots of laughter, deep discussion and furtive rewriting. It is a serious day here in English class.

These are the days that I look forward too, laughing with my students, watching them learn with each other, problem solve together. They are learning without even knowing it.

And now there is a discussion of how a girl pretends to be a guy because we ran out of guys, I am needed.
