Birthday Poster

I'm LOVE my 4th period class. You've heard me talk about them before, they are my "newcomer" students who are beginner English speakers. I love them because they are so thoughtful & they always laugh at things I say. :) Of course I love them, right?

Well, today YS (7th grader) asked me, "¿Cuando es su cumpleaños?" I politely told her it was March 17th, even though it had NOTHING to do with our assignment. Then she asked, "¿Cual es su favorite color?" I was very proud of her for using the English words that she knew. :) So I gladly told her it was teal, which is between green & blue.

I happen to have teal construction paper in my room, so she grabbed a piece of it & used some scissors to cut a strip off. I asked what she was doing & she replied, "Ahh, surpriiiise," with a huge smile.

After 2 minutes, she held up the birthday poster I had made with all of my students birthdays on it & revealed how cute she really is... (notice the awkwardly placed teal one at the bottom)
