Today, as we walked our students out, a few of them started mentioning gifts and talking of the holiday party that will be filling our afternoon tomorrow. One boy, who engulfs so much of our energy and focus but makes up for it by constantly making us laugh with his serious, but silly comments, had decided he'd get my team teacher a chocolate chip cupcake.
One teacher down, and on to figure out the perfect gift for me. As we walked down the stairs he stopped and turned around.
"Whatch you want? A lamp?"
Tempting, but instead I agreed a cupcake would make me happy too. Just the thought of this young man carrying a lamp for his teacher through the school was enough to make us giggle all the way back to the room!

That's a very interesting post. In fact, I liked the layout of your blog too. I'm a fellow teacher. I teach at a university. My blog is called Issues in Academics, http://issuesinacademics.blogspot.com/
I learned about your blog when I was reading an article by Jay Mathews on Washington Post.
I would love to team up with colleagues in other parts of the world.
Best wishes.
