F's Plans

When I am 18 I am going to get a septum piercing and blue and pink hair with a mohawk. And cobra tattoos everywhere. I am going to do push-ups every morning so I can be ripped! I hope that my hands and feet grow more. I am going to look so cool walking around. They won't see the mohawk because I will wear a helmet when I am building houses and I will have a mask so they won't see my septum piercing. I also want one eyebrow pierced.

A Questions Curriculum

 From an email to her teacher:


Dear Mrs. Z,

Sorry to bother you but I was looking up I-ready to log in, and saw some surprising common questions that were asked about it. I am not a fan of I-Ready, but I do understand it is part of our 4th grade reading curriculum, so when I saw these questions I decided to dig deeper. It turns out the I-Ready diagnostic is not good for kids. In the files you will see below, the I-Ready diagnostic is, and I quote " A dehumanizing assessment that causes stress and is overall, useless with no benefits." "It is a big waste of time and does not teach anything to students."  I am curious to see if you have any thoughts on I-Ready.


Just wanted you to know.
Kindly, A

F's Inquiries

 When I told him he would have music in school next year, F: Is it jazz?

Me: No, I don't think so.

F: Is it smooth?


When I asked him what he wanted for breakfast, F: Oatmeal and yogur de tomar and perhaps some strawberries?
