May Day! May Day! Or on Second Thought... No Comment.

May 1st began with a morning worksheet entitled "Rhyme Time." I introduced it, reading aloud from the directions at the top of the page. I made it only so far, before I was enthusiastically interrupted by a student. It went something like this:

ME: "May Day is a spring festival celebrated on May 1. Often children dance around a maypole, and--"

STUDENT: "OH! MY MOTHER HAS ONE OF THOSE!"

[pause... and... thank goodness(!), the children seem unfazed by this declaration of a mom's choices in home decorating and recreation]

ME: "and hang baskets filled with candy and flowers on doorknobs!"
