Next: I Came Here to Wrinte An Entry…..

Semester 2 – I’ve Still Got It

Yes, it’s a new semester in Happy Wolfie Land. Last term’s students are OLD news. I have a new crop of young minds to till and hoe and weed.

Lesson #1 in Ms. Wolf’s class: FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. After spending 3.5 days devoted ENTIRELY to this skill, it was assessment time. Instead of a test….I asked them to write poems that demonstrate to me that they understand the importance of following directions. You know what’s coming, right? Yep. I’m going to share some examples.

Following directions is a good thing to do.
And your in school and its right for you.

Roses are red, violets are blue.
I follow directions, How about you?

Let’s learn something today
Listen to what your techers say
Following directions
For cooking lessons
Makes your lessons
Fun Each day
If you don’t fight
You’ll cook just right
So follow directions
For your cooking lessons
And you’ll get a good grade.

If you want to be a Pitcher
Better follow Directions like your Teacher
Don’ act like Death
When you get an F!
(And don’t forget – if you’re Hispanic and speaking English…..Pitcher and Teacher actually do rhyme lol)

You follow directions so that you can learn
If you don’t follow this you’ll take a wrong turn
It helps you be safe and very care free
You can cook all you want and hang with your ‘G’
And buy a phat car sittin on 23s.
Now you know that’s tight , so you better learn
To follow directions and don’t let your life burn.

And my all time favorite of this crop….

Rules are strict
Rules are decipline
Rules con fail you
Even destroy you
Rules are harsh
Hard to follow
We get in trouble
Cause our brains are hollow
So now we follow
to not be in Trouble
Rules are cool
If YOU rule.

Some days are very entertaining, ya know?

Today, I made fudge. Just me. Not all my classes. It was a "Thank You" for the PE coach because he did me a favor. As I was packing it up….the deputy walked into my room and I offered him a piece. He said he probably wouldn’t like it….and then ate 3 pieces. No sooner had I gotten the class started on their assignments than my door opened…….and in walked the principal, both male assistant principals, and the deputy. My class went deathly quiet. I, however caught the sheepish grins on ALL thier faces….and walked over to the fudge and began handing it out. Yes, the deputy had ANOTHER piece.

So it seems, I still have it. I can still attract men in flocks as I used to in my younger days. Back then, however, it was my personal….."assets" that were attractive rather than my culinary skills. Things sure have changed………..

BBe

FallingDog

That last poem had an Emily Dickinson-ish ring to it. You have a class full of future Nobel laureates!

wren

Mmmmmm…..fudge! 🙂 RYN: I have trouble relating to people who aren’t touched by a wagging tail or a cat’s purr. It’s probably unfair of me, but I shy away from non-pet people and I am less trusting of them.

RoofOnFire

They’re great! Thanks for sharing.

crystal butterfly

Was there any fudge left for the correct recipient!!! I think that poetry was brilliant! I loved the way they were able to freely express without feeling the need to stick to traditional poetic form… of course it sounded a lot like rap which is rapidly becoming a traditional poetic form!

Starbright

I’m impressed with your poets. My mom always said, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Maybe she was right after all.

Men always choose good food over “other assets” because they HAVE to eat. lol Sounds like fun and I loved the directions. I do the same with my kids 1st day of school. I tell them all about me and then give them a quiz. They act all smug getting a 100 on the quiz but they don’t read the instructions which says put your name on the back and answer only the odd questions, so they all fail. lol r

*grin* well there’s no surer way of getting a man’s heart than by going at this weakest, his stomach. 😉 haha and I LOVED the poems, they were just so innocent and downright sincere. 🙂 couldn’t help but laugh.

Mns

I’m the diarist formerly known as Traveling Light – at your service! Yes, I’m back, off and on – the TL diary wouldn’t upgrade for love or money once the gift subscription ran out, so I started this one. Good to see you again/still!
