The One With The Stickers (12/1/2012)

I recently received a package from some of my amazing friends back home that had a bunch of stickers in it.  I gave the November exam to my students this past week and so I brought the stickers to school to put on the exams of the students who scored well.  I brought them out while I was sitting at my desk in the staff room and immediately all of the teachers were swarmed around my desk.  They looked through the stickers for forever, each picking out one to put on their phones and proudly parading around their choice in front of each other.  Eventually Makala put a stop to things by reminding everyone that the stickers are for the students and everyone went back to their work. 

I share a desk with Grace and she was watching me as I started to put stickers on the exams.  I asked if she wanted to put out the stickers and her face lit up!  She spent the next hour and a half pensively flipping through the sticker book, picking out just the right one for each exam.  Eventually she looked up and me and asked for the exam with the lowest score.  I handed it to her but told her she couldn’t put stickers on the low scoring exams.  She told me she had just the right one picked out and she held up the sticker that said “far out”…
