Seventh grade really is an awkward stage. Now that i'm not the one experiencing it, this age is so much more enjoyable to observe. I think my favorite has been when one of my boys came in and said, "Ms. Mayans, do you know what is the worst? It's so embarrassing when you are talking to a cute girl and your voice cracks." Hahaha, yup, I guess that would be kind of awkward.
Well, another great moment came with the end of our comma unit. After weeks of comma lessons and days of review and test preparation, I gave my student an overview test. To commemorate the memorable day in which they would prove their comma mastery, I wore my roommate's comma shirt to school (yes, I have a roommate who clearly is an English lover as well). My students loved it! I even had one student draw a picture of me (in my "normal" clothes that day, and in my "comma girl" superhero clothes). Oh, I love it. They then took the test and most of them did a pretty good job on it. I was pleased with most of the grades. Yay for commas!!!!
So here is another moment of seventh-grader-greatness. I was having a bit of a downer day, but this little jewel made me laugh out loud. Here is an email I received from a student. Besides the fact that it is slightly inappropriate to tell your teacher that she is hot, this grammar fatality is priceless.
