It was an early release with a winter concert assembly today which left limited time for a few other items like locker clean outs and the "Know Your Rights" presentation that all secondary school students are required to see. Even so, my homeroom was quick enough to have time for a movie after lunch.
Students suggested a few films some reasonable (Home Alone), some not (It), and they were debating when an idea occurred to me. "Hey you guys!" I said. "What about Toy Story 4?"
There was mild enthusiasm, but it wasn't a clear winner by any stretch. "It's just that I haven't had a chance to see it, yet," I explained, more to myself than to them as they returned to their discussion.
One student heard me, though. "You haven't?" she asked.
I shook my head a little ruefully, for I haven't seen very many movies at all this year.
"I vote for Toy Story 4!" she said. "Ms. S. wants to see it!"
"I do, too," said another student, and one by one they stepped to the white board and erased their tally marks under the movie they had voted for to place them under mine.
"Aw... thanks you guys!" I told them. "I'll make some popcorn!"
