Creative answer

Morpheme -ive means: inclined to be

I tell the student's that I'm going to set them up on a blind date. And their date is going to be attractive. Then I ask them, "What's the first thing you think?"

A boy student says: "sex".

At least he is honest.

A new way of learning

We were learning the definition for 'ovation'. I asked the students what ovation sounded like. One student said, "ovaries".

Go with the flow right?

The student proceeded to describe (with hand visuals) how ladies have two ovaries. And one could pretend the ovaries are hands clapping for when the lady has a baby.

This reminded me of one of my student's who made an edible replica of the female reproductive system!

Sobrino loves to suck his thumb!



He's just not very good at it. Once it's in his mouth he jerks and he can't find his thumb again.

Skyping with My Sister, Nephew, and Niece




Sobrino adores his sister, sobrina. There is this amazing connection between the two. When I visited over Christmas he would start to cry and I would ask sobrina to sing to him and he would stop crying. In these pictures you can just tell he is absorbing everything she has to offer him.
