One of the best things about teaching sixth grade is that once they get to know you? Those kids are pretty sure you can do anything! And to be honest, they're not that hard to impress.
Why, just yesterday on the bus the boys across from me were making rhymes of each other's names. When they noticed me watching them curiously they were only too happy to explain. "We're making raps!"
"Cool!" I told them and turned back to my book.
"Can you make one Ms. S?" they called across the aisle.
"Um," I hesitated, because, really? The answer was rightfully No, but I felt compelled to try.
"Do CJ!" They suggested.
"OK, give me a minute." I considered the rhymes and took a deep breath.
My name is CJ--
I'll be your DJ.
Listen to what I say
'cause I know the right way
and if you are a hater?
You don't have to be that way!
Their jaws dropped only a moment before they started to clap.
