From the mouths of my students

It's definitely been an interesting day here at school.

My 8th graders were singing our theme song this afternoon - very poorly. I'm not talking about the genuine I can't sing well. They were shouting and singing off pitch on purpose.

"If I were to go get the principal, ask him to come and hear what we're singing and you were to sing like that, do you think that he would be pleased?"

"Well if he were in here, we would sing it right."


On a lighter note, I was reviewing our Martin Luther King song with my 3rd graders since they had a sub last week when they learned it for the first time. They were singing it through and appeared to be having a good time.

I asked them what style of music the song was.

I explained that the song was in the gospel style.

A hand in the front row raises.

"Mrs. R, I didn't know that Martin Luther King was in the gospel."

It took everything I had not to laugh!
