Please remember, I teach in a high poverty school. As a generalization, with poverty comes a certain culture. My dear sweet Karla reminded me of that culture and its often inappropriate language.
She was telling me a story about going to the skating rink last week. As she was telling me about the scantily clad girls, she said, "Miss H, it was like Santa Claus had been there. Ya know, there was a ho ho ho."

Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is one of the many pros of being an elementary school teacher. There is red and pink construction paper valentines, class parties, and most importantly, lots of candy. It is also a prime opportunity to get a look at the ten year old's perspective on love.
This Valentine's Day, a very country boy in my class, Bobby, was asking me about my Valentine plans with my fiance. I informed him that my fiance would be taking me out to eat to celebrate.
He responded, "Ooooooh, Miss H! I bet he is taking you to a buffet. A buffet means you really love someone."
