A Student's Bright Answer

Here's one student's very good answer to a question in his Elementary Science class:

John: 3 polar bears and 3 seals.

If Johnny Were A Millionaire...

In a classroom: "Take a pencil and paper," the teacher said, "and write an essay with the title 'If I Were a Millionaire.'" 

Everyone but Johnny, who leaned back with arms folded, began to write furiously. 

"What's the matter," the teacher asked. "Why don't you begin?" 

"I'm waiting for my secretary," he replied.

The "Always Happy Jedja"

It’s so inspiring to see Jedja (my grade 1 student) happy working at his coloring book.  I cracked a joke today and it took my students’ heart away- away from reality.(when I say reality I mean “The hard day.”)My students were really happy, especially Jedja.


Jedja is a healthy boy with a cute smile.  Whenever he smiles, his missing-four-front-teeth make him so cute and I couldn’t help myself but smile. 


I have to keep my correct guess that every time I step into their class, Jedja always smile and approach me.  He taps at my shoulder and whispers , “Teacher, we wanna play game.” So I let them played for at least three minutes in class. This made all of the students very happy.

With or Without You?

 There must be something with the use of punctuation marks. In written English, we understand each other by the correct usage of punctuation marks. Mechanics of writing, as they say, put meanings to the way we write our messages. Here's a good example:

An English professor wrote the words, "A woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.


The men wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing."


The women wrote: "A woman: without her, man is nothing."
