All week I've been doing a Valentine's lesson with my classes. For the first part, I hand out conversation hearts (courtesy of Ma) for them to try--then they have to come up with five new heart messages in order to get a second candy! I have thus learned that treats are a great motivator ;)
The next part is the question, "What are the advantages of being single or in a relationship?" I write their answers on the board, and boy, are they interesting! Here is one class's answers (they were all boys, and I was the one who suggested "love," fyi):
Another class of all boys suggested these:
SINGLE-more calm
-play video games
-freedom
-can go out
IN A RELATIONSHIP
-love (which I again wrote)
-change facebook status
-spend money (I assume on gifts/dates)
-celebrate Valentine's Day
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Today I also tried to make peanut M&M cookies, but I didn't realize that I used salted butter, so they were a bit salty :/ Baking fail... My skillz are wasting away here!
