Lately, my class has been pen pals with the 3rd graders at my old school (Redwood Elementary in West Salt Lake). It has been really neat to see the kids exchange information about their communities. You can see the enormous differences in their cultures. AFENY is 100% African American and Redwood is mostly Hispanic.
One day I was handing out their long-awaited letters from their pen pals. One of my KWLM's (Kids We Love the Most.. aka.. pain in the butt kids) started screeching "Mrs. Staples! Mrs. Staples". I ran over because I thought he was going to hyperventilate. I asked what was going on and he screamed "JESUS wrote me, Mrs. Staples!!! He wrote me!!!". After I roared of laughter for a couple of minutes I explained to him that sometimes people use that as names but pronounce it differently. I think he was relieved that god wasn't writing him personally... he knows what kind of letter that would be.

That is hilareous Linds! Love it! You are so cute, such a good teacher. I can't wait to see you in New York. Cory found out we are going in May, or maybe like mid April - mid May. So I can't wait to hang out. Love ya.

That is too funny! BTW Happy b-day to Rob. Sounds like it was a good one
Hahaha, I love it! Did the letters just barely get there? I sent them right after (or before?) Thanksgiving.
that is absolutely adorable. Kids are so cute and you're the cutest teacher in the world.
PERFECT activity Lindsay, you're an amazing teacher! I bet your students love going to school each day. That story about Jesus's letter is SO funny! Thanks for the laugh. :)
Lindsay! I was totally thinking about you all day Tuesday when I was at my job, and wondering, you know, what you were up to! Abbie texted me halfway through the day telling me she had talked to you and I was really happy. I am so excited for us!! Woo hoo!!
That is the funniest thing ever. Love it.
HILARIOUS! I miss you beautiful Lindsay.
