a fifth grader reading the morning announcements said,
"...and a happy weekend birthday to Mrs. Shaffner."
My first graders perked up and smiled at me.
A bit later, we were finishing the weekly spelling test.
When the kids finish,
they turn their papers to the back
and begin drawing a picture.
As I passed the green table,
I noticed Megan was drawing a birthday cake,
Alexis was drawing a person wearing our classroom birthday hat,
Alayna was drawing a birthday cake,
...and Joel was drawing a detonator connected to TNT.
