Today I received this email from the grandmother of one of my students:
“I've got a great story for you. The other day on the way home Bailey said, "My teacher nearly had her pants off in class today."I said, "Oh? How did that happen?"He said, "We were reading together, and she said we were so quiet that she couldn't hear us. Then we read so loudly that she said her pants almost came off."I said, "Did she say, "You almost scared the pants off of me"?He said, "That's it, That's what she said."
What I
actually said is that the students had ‘knocked the socks off of me’ when they read aloud, but I guess that got lost in the translation! I love first grade!
