A Few Miscellaneous Pictures

Here are various pictures that I've taken with my phone (mostly) recently.

Students drew human bodies and labeled various body parts. Luckily, I managed to get these pictures before someone was able to draw penises on every single one. If you click on the image you can see some interesting labels. On the far left you can see the beard and the urine. On the inner left you can discover the hair and the forehair. The inner right shows the dark circles and the outer right shows us the shirt and the mouse.

When technology was first introduced into the classrooms it was very exciting to students. Now it's a bit mundane as they're lives are flooded technological advancements. They now get excited when I draw things on the board. Ooooh! So try to rely on technology for stimulus as little as possible. I'm also starting think about how technology as lessened classroom attention spans. My 6th graders were unable to pay attention to my explanation of attention spans.

My reference to the hamster spinning a wheel in their heads led to the right half. My explanation of Poseidon eventually led to Hamster-man turning into a merman.

Finally, here are a pair of English sheatshirts found in the same class. On the right is the FDNY Police Department. On the left is the "Hades" shirt I mentioned here.

This boy is wearing a hoodie with the text "Union Jack" above the flag. On his sleeve is Old Glory.

I really like this warning poster which was all over the school, mainly because of the boy who gets his head stuck in the blinds.
