April 1 and Fools among us

This is a very interesting day at school for the language impaired.

It is not too far from St Pat's day when people can go out and pinch others for not wearing green. The difficult part about this day is to get a prank pulled on another that is significant enough to say.."April Fools!" This is hard when your language is behind to begin with.

My students tried to do the uniform alert.. your zipper's down, your button is unbuttoned, you are wearing your shirt inside out.. again.. after the third one of these it just doesn't fly. They still keep trying.

Today was writing day. Wednesdays are always.. or mostly always writing day in the class. I let them choose from my career photos one career and then write a couple of paragraphs about it. I put up hints regarding the content I wanted in each of their chosen careers. One of the students who is on the A spectrum say the mail lady and called her Nacho Libre. He could not get that out of his head. So.. what does nacho libre do to deliver the mail?

Have a great day!
Pat
