Always remember the rule of 3.4 ounces! @TSA

It’s possible that my students think they are only allowed to play NYTimes games when they finish their work. When they finish those, they must read a book. 🤭

Conversation with witnesses
Student: Can I “read” TikTok instead of getting a book?
Me: 🥸 I think not
Student: But what if I turn on the closed captions? That’s reading.
Me: Still, no.

When the homework assignment is to use a vocabulary word in a joke and you see this on a computer screen 😂😂

When the kid warns you that their vocabulary comic is rated PG-13

If you are a middle school ELA teacher, you understand that this is a huge compliment!

I was at work Monday-Thursday last week. Took Friday off to move my daughter to college. Today, Monday, the 5th time I have seen the students, I was asked if I am a sub and where is Mrs. Kidd.
Sorry to disappoint you kid, I’m the teacher. You’re stuck with me.

I would like to thank my principal for teaching 2nd period to clap for me when I enter the room! 😂

The students decided the word "sigma" is an adjective, and "rizz" is a verb. It was a productive third day of school.

@nckhui Very sorry for your loss

I return to work tomorrow after a summer of watching pandas falling. Just video after video of pandas. Sigh. 🐼

Our “Snowballs” 🤣❄️☃️
The kids loved it, and they picked up every single one!

[Christine Kidd @ChristineKidd1]

Yes, it’s true, the ELA EOG is over.
It is also true that we took our papers today, balled them up, and had a “snowball” fight in the classroom.
The kids loved it and only one student might need to get a stitch in his arm this afternoon.

[Christine Kidd @ChristineKidd1]

Mrs. Kidd, where are you?

Teaching 6th grade in a nutshell.
This was just today 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Christine Kidd @ChristineKidd1]

Students: When we finish our work can we play games?
Me: No
Students: Can we play @NYTGames
Me:…Yes, but don’t tell me the Wordle I’m on an 80 day streak.

[Christine Kidd @ChristineKidd1]

The real question I’m asking today is who gave me a cold for Teacher Appreciation Week? 🤧

[Christine Kidd @ChristineKidd1]

Student: What’s your favorite website?
Me: NetRef
Student: Lame

[Christine Kidd @ChristineKidd1]

This IS teaching middle school!

Conversation between me and my dad last night. Good thing I teach English and not math.
