Regarding the middle hippo, if you have to label your drawing in an animal drawing competition, then you drawing isn’t good enough. Unless of course you are the third hippo and you label it with something awesome like “Hippo-Campus”. If you do that, you win instantly. On the one hand, I am sad because I never thought of the hippo/hippocampus pun before, on the other hand, I am happy because I now know of its existence.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-oW6sW-39VOk/UPNN8JPJcHI/AAAAAAAABSQ/3tCGN7NkGoA/s1600-h/photo%2525203%252520%2525286%252529%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 3 (6)" border="0" alt="photo 3 (6)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-1ZRQ1NObQdU/UPNN8lshZoI/AAAAAAAABSY/5P1zr_p_-PI/photo%2525203%252520%2525286%252529_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="229" height="216" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vAPVeKpmW-M/UPNN9NyQOAI/AAAAAAAABSg/IvY8wTikU-8/s1600-h/photo%2525204%252520%2525286%252529%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 4 (6)" border="0" alt="photo 4 (6)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-3FqTixKuOKs/UPNN9qPDfDI/AAAAAAAABSo/QjpWFd7zvW0/photo%2525204%252520%2525286%252529_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="156" height="244" /></a></p> <p align="center">I was all ready to come on here and make fun of these poor drawings of animals.

There is a mixture of adults and students. There is a very limited amount of macarons. There are only five glasses which tells me they are alcoholic drinks for the adults so I guess it isn’t all bad. And no student, I will not frame this nor will I keep it forever. Maybe if it was a cooler party with no students present.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DZD4Dj13SyI/UPNOLfne9jI/AAAAAAAABWA/6FRk4dVc0OU/s1600-h/photo%2525203%252520%2525283%252529%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 3 (3)" border="0" alt="photo 3 (3)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-R7FmPULAfpY/UPNOL6PU2fI/AAAAAAAABWI/LXAEQor03c8/photo%2525203%252520%2525283%252529_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p align="center">If you have to ask, the answer is no.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-lPsL1ynFJ5k/UPNOMRmFl9I/AAAAAAAABWQ/spwRpF4KeCw/s1600-h/photo%2525203%252520%2525284%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 3 (4)" border="0" alt="photo 3 (4)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-R7E76mimORM/UPNOMlIbAwI/AAAAAAAABWY/5zLKpoLeLxU/photo%2525203%252520%2525284%252529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="172" height="290" /></a> A pretty great picture of a robot made up of quadrilaterals.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DOabKWmIbxg/UPNONA6TUSI/AAAAAAAABWg/MzLtqQUJEWw/s1600-h/photo%2525203%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 3" border="0" alt="photo 3" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ROQrJpT70i8/UPNONs59qmI/AAAAAAAABWo/qbKbLQPXOz8/photo%2525203_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="379" height="184" /></a> This is a picture of a student that is already planning on becoming such an ultimate cat person that they actually paint their face to look like a cat.

The answer read “None of the statements is false.” First of all, the student spelled grammar incorrectly. I don’t think this is a student who has ever lurked around comment sections of the internet but he is in for a rude awakening if he ever ventures there. Secondly, I did extensive research (AT LEAST 20-30 minutes of looking online) on whether I was correct or not. The problem is whether I should say “None of the statements are false” or “None of the statements is false”. I understand that saying “are false” sounds more correct but I don’t feel that it is. I think None is a shortened form of “not one”, a singular phrase, so I used a singular verb. After my research I concluded that both versions are correct. None is a tricky word and several sites had both “none is” and “none are” being correct. The moral of the story is don’t spell a word wrong when trying to call out someone else’s mistake. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-unrCGDiiOFk/UPNOUbire6I/AAAAAAAABYQ/rW5_R-_Na1Q/s1600-h/photo%2525205%252520%2525284%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 5 (4)" border="0" alt="photo 5 (4)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-CiOstyamsok/UPNOUgVZHmI/AAAAAAAABYY/UbW8DRdrBwI/photo%2525205%252520%2525284%252529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="260" height="335" /></a> This student received no bonus points.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-4XI7cJAXTlg/UPNOVGGB0EI/AAAAAAAABYg/yR2jEYRUTkQ/s1600-h/photo%2525205%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 5" border="0" alt="photo 5" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-t5CUTJPVG6k/UPNOVrvATWI/AAAAAAAABYo/TmUYD48_gds/photo%2525205_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="351" height="305" /></a>Student -  “Mr. Haren, did you know these letters spell out ZOMBIE?”</p> <p align="center">Me - “Really?!?!

I wish I knew this student, even if he is making fun of Hipsters, he knows some great bands. Unless of course he wears one of those stupid hats that hangs off the tip of your head and is completely ornamental and serves no purpose at all especially because you are wearing it in the middle of 90 degree weather. I hate those hats with the passion of a million suns.</p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left">And now for some writing found on bathroom walls (warning: may include vulgar language):</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-V446ALlwKtk/T8e6WpKvESI/AAAAAAAAA6U/B96Y4_CQUvg/s1600-h/photo1125.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="photo 1 (12)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (12)" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bU63HNjmXxw/T8e6W7KHvjI/AAAAAAAAA6c/6BzZTLpBeYg/photo112_thumb6.jpg?imgmax=800" width="381" height="123" /></a> </p> <p align="center">The thing I don’t get with bathroom graffiti, is that it is drawn by guys and only seen by guys. That being the case, why do they write sexual related things and include pictures of penises all the time? That being said, I laughed when I read this.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-mTronax9RXw/T8e6XVgPZbI/AAAAAAAAA6k/6tA7Kitdwsg/s1600-h/photo2731.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="photo 2 (7)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (7)" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-O1WK_IyOL40/T8e6XsQ0WgI/AAAAAAAAA6s/mTI_Dvq2MO4/photo273_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="332" height="253" /></a>  </p> <p align="center">Some pretty serious bullying going on here.

Your fans are ridiculous. I’m not even a sports fan but I do like cheese and the idea of cheese being your go to claim to fame is dumb. Phew! Glad I got that one off my chest. Now it’s time to go talk to the Cleveland Browns. You’re known as “the Browns”.

That clearly didn’t happen.</p> <p align="center">We are now over a quarter of the way into the school year and I have a decent selection of drawings. I had to scour the school for whatever I could find. My students aren’t big on doodling so far this year so there are several pictures from the bathroom walls. So without further ado, here are the drawings. (There are a lot of them. I tried to include links to outside sources/videos for your enjoyment as well.)</p> <p align="center">(Warning: some of the pictures contain graphic language and drawings, you have been warned)</p> <p align="center">First, a series of animals and “nice” pictures.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NBciQy9xlf8/TrsbetFNkgI/AAAAAAAAAec/klutomS-LS8/s1600-h/photo%2525201%252520%2525281%252529%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (1)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (1)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5w4uZ6nwHUs/TrsbexZ8shI/AAAAAAAAAek/wm3nbzOkDq4/photo%2525201%252520%2525281%252529_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="404" height="66" /></a></p> <p align="center">Sounds good to me. They should have left off the question mark to seem more confident.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-1QNR8qLet0Q/TrsbfBqnyYI/AAAAAAAAAes/WBAEIIiOsXs/s1600-h/photo%2525202%252520%2525282%252529%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (2)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (2)" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-yw3e8NUazYQ/TrsbfUvJC0I/AAAAAAAAAe0/klMDpsQEiP4/photo%2525202%252520%2525282%252529_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="406" height="81" /></a> Ok.

Also a unicorn who apparently is wearing a penguin suit.</p> <p align="center">I showed <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052751/" target="_blank">Donald in Mathmagic Land</a> one day when I was absent and asked the students to write three things they liked about the movie, three questions they had, and three things they didn’t like about the movie or math. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-zJEY8MG_iRI/TrsbhC3enxI/AAAAAAAAAfc/ZGsW_CnDOGw/s1600-h/photo%2525201%252520%2525288%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (8)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (8)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wpe4KPIWqws/TrsbhbAqRKI/AAAAAAAAAfk/-9vJ0gL1-GE/photo%2525201%252520%2525288%252529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="393" height="247" /></a> </p> <p align="center">My answers to the questions are in green.

Then again, this is an enriched student saying they “fail” at tests, which could mean they got an 85%.</p> <p align="center">I’ve shown pictures before of my zombie figurines. Here is a picture of the whole army so far. I get to build one each month, so this is this first 11. They’re pretty awesome and they guard my desk.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-SLwEvwWEil8/Trsbiq60uEI/AAAAAAAAAf8/T9i6eNob8-U/s1600-h/photo%2525201%252520%2525289%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (9)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (9)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Yg1BhPqin04/Trsbi0lYdhI/AAAAAAAAAgE/014hJJmR1KI/photo%2525201%252520%2525289%252529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="385" height="293" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-suxTMqP_NwA/TrsbjZ7aWxI/AAAAAAAAAgM/_T5DR1Esl7A/s1600-h/photo%2525202%252520%25252810%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (10)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (10)" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-kaYsDZqCrIQ/Trsbjs2g8pI/AAAAAAAAAgU/WESOl4tc60I/photo%2525202%252520%25252810%252529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="391" height="297" /></a></p> <p align="center">The jackhammer guy is probably my favorite. The zombie child with a teddy bear is the most creepy. The waiter serving brains is actually serving his own brain (which isn’t very scientifically accurate when it comes to zombies, but I’ll let it slide).</p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-toO1t0F8Nto/TrsbkPoLmWI/AAAAAAAAAgc/5FWOczOZyfU/s1600-h/photo%2525203%252520%2525287%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 3 (7)" border="0" alt="photo 3 (7)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-4zsutThd1EA/TrsbkWvTHsI/AAAAAAAAAgk/X_hJznmC5Ws/photo%2525203%252520%2525287%252529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="390" height="297" /></a></p> <p align="center">I like the football player too because he is really sturdy and stands up really easily. His “football” is also a human head. So he’s got that going for him.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-UQVd87R2Saw/TrsbkiK-JWI/AAAAAAAAAgs/OQZJ89Q_VQ0/s1600-h/photo%2525201%252520%25252810%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (10)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (10)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-L9q4un0h5fw/TrsblHH16yI/AAAAAAAAAg0/YacztX5Sd70/photo%2525201%252520%25252810%252529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="201" height="72" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-XEkcPyPdFsE/TrsblRmvGDI/AAAAAAAAAg8/4JJgqqwD_80/s1600-h/photo%2525202%252520%25252811%252529%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (11)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (11)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dEMImihBzf0/Trsblh6uZsI/AAAAAAAAAhE/0uRd5-VX9No/photo%2525202%252520%25252811%252529_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="188" height="111" /></a></p> <p align="center">These are both from one student’s paper. He is apparently a “husla” who can’t even spell the slang form of hustler, which is hustla. He also drew what appears to be a cross, two eyeballs in motion, and two fingers. This leads me to believe he is part of the Finger-Ball gang. </p> <p align="center">Ok. Wow. I google searched “Finger ball” to see if it’d be anything and it came up with this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdZLTI8nU6s" target="_blank">fantastic video</a>. Watch it.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-E7a2QUvSGU8/Trsbl6Gd9fI/AAAAAAAAAhM/3qQ-pxUYJzQ/s1600-h/photo%2525201%252520%25252813%252529%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (13)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (13)" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-12O02MSYeNs/TrsbmM7mE0I/AAAAAAAAAhU/GLH-C6_xeMQ/photo%2525201%252520%25252813%252529_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="69" /></a>I think woah is going to be one of those words that Webster’s just gives up on and accepts as being a real word. Let’s home they make it quick so I can use it in Words With Friends. To be honest, I’ve gone to spell whoa before and totally blanked. It’s a weird one.  </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-aWV9ov59cdk/TrsbmQ6t1jI/AAAAAAAAAhc/QjxdrxAjQwE/s1600-h/photo%2525202%252520%2525286%252529%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (6)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (6)" align="left" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Fb0Z5cdu-68/Trsbmt6eYbI/AAAAAAAAAhk/E6kgr_d8aqg/photo%2525202%252520%2525286%252529_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="209" /></a> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-e5ENJTYHHUE/Trsbm5PXqkI/AAAAAAAAAhs/S_Q66372ZCk/s1600-h/photo%2525202%252520%2525287%252529%25255B2%25255D.jpg"></a> <p><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (7)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (7)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-D0gyiKx4Vrc/TrsbnFnjF1I/AAAAAAAAAh0/FQuWAkqdGvw/photo%2525202%252520%2525287%252529_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="108" height="244" /></p>  Students love drawing Spongebob and are surprisingly good at it. Also, this girl’s shirt is offensive. Normally I’d care but she has a weird shaped torso.</p> <p>  <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-oCtSLz9QJa4/TrsbnX1RriI/AAAAAAAAAiA/BeHpHGHFOSw/s1600-h/photo%2525202%252520%2525288%252529%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (8)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (8)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-fvavFi3zYLg/Trsbnw4NiTI/AAAAAAAAAiI/kNdExJP_fF0/photo%2525202%252520%2525288%252529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="330" height="176" /></a></p> <p align="center">So a llama with a hat looks very much like a unicorn.

Unfortunately (though, kind of fortunately I suppose), my students have not been doodling as much lately. Enjoy.</p> <p>The following mini series is a group of pictures of lumberjacks. There is talk around school about a certain teacher who many girls like to dream about. Especially when they think he is a lumberjack. My favorite is easily the 4th one. Probably because it’s not actually a lumberjack.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYIYTiW5I/AAAAAAAAAVs/sE_VEn3XQ74/s1600-h/photo%201%20%281%29%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (1)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (1)" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYKMrgn-I/AAAAAAAAAVw/ELHcwJznKDg/photo%201%20%281%29_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYKvzM0NI/AAAAAAAAAV0/e1oT_3QVc1w/s1600-h/photo%201%20%282%29%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (2)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (2)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYK02mKPI/AAAAAAAAAV4/LmbJYVHd21s/photo%201%20%282%29_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYLiJj0TI/AAAAAAAAAV8/lLoGt7lH2kA/s1600-h/photo%202%20%281%29%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (1)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (1)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYLw3v9lI/AAAAAAAAAWA/HlCA26ib-II/photo%202%20%281%29_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYMmruzhI/AAAAAAAAAWE/x26AZJ5twuA/s1600-h/photo%203%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 3" border="0" alt="photo 3" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYNKNUMqI/AAAAAAAAAWI/GoRBJNGQkmY/photo%203_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a></p> <p>The following is a GREAT find by one of my colleagues.

By the end of the year my desk at school will have a nice zombie army.</p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYkPKGT6I/AAAAAAAAAYc/_qCi0V5OCdM/s1600-h/photo%204%20%282%29%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 4 (2)" border="0" alt="photo 4 (2)" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYkj-GKZI/AAAAAAAAAYg/i6CRsgAw93k/photo%204%20%282%29_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="344" height="262" /></a></p> <p align="center">Found in another classroom.

My family plays a game called Telephone Pictionary in which you write a phrase and the next person draws a picture and the next person translates the picture into a phrase and so on. I don’t know how this one started but it ended with - “If you are happily holding your baby upside down, you might as well eat it because you have two other kids.” I think I translated the picture perfectly.    </p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYnwKgt6I/AAAAAAAAAY0/7wQNU_vs_gI/s1600-h/photo%204%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 4" border="0" alt="photo 4" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TVXYocilRiI/AAAAAAAAAY4/sS6WsJoT7jk/photo%204_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="340" height="259" /></a>    Lastly, this is a pen I confiscated from a student because it was creating a distraction. Yes, a pen. As you can plainly see, the dinosaur has a huge penis with a tuft of hair at his crotch. What sort of company would make this? Now that I think about it, I still have this pen in my desk, I never gave it back.</p> <p align="left">I hope you enjoyed the pictures. You may have noticed that some of them were a little blurry due to my messed up iPhone camera. Fortunately, I went to the store the other day and exchanged my phone for a new one since it is under warranty still. Who knew “blurry pictures” was a valid reason to get a new phone.</p> Math Zombiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13981348248853557651noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934244232824439785.post-87368091612497625292010-11-21T15:03:00.001-05:002010-11-21T15:03:53.712-05:00Student Drawings Vol. 12<p>I have another batch of student drawings just in time for the holiday break. Hopefully you enjoy the photos and I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl62MXOWhI/AAAAAAAAAS4/e23GiyjDA8Q/s1600-h/Juggalo%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Juggalo" border="0" alt="Juggalo" align="left" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl62ZP9kkI/AAAAAAAAAS8/KytHE6OJudU/Juggalo_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="168" height="221" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl63BTmY6I/AAAAAAAAATA/anzeR9L2uZ0/s1600-h/photo%20%281%29%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo (1)" border="0" alt="photo (1)" align="left" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl63qQ5SQI/AAAAAAAAATE/rju8vXkKvRg/photo%20%281%29_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="210" height="160" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Only a couple ICP/Juggalo pictures this time. The first is a paper found at a middle school. The second is some graffiti I did on one of my friend’s cars. </p> <p>When my students finished their last test, I asked them to turn it over and draw a picture on the back. Part of my reasoning behind this is to keep them busy so they don’t start talking while others are working, part of my reasoning is so I would have more pictures for this blog post.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl64OCnNAI/AAAAAAAAATI/b02CFEf84Wo/s1600-h/photo%201%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1" border="0" alt="photo 1" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl64Q1e4iI/AAAAAAAAATM/hAkj1uxWJic/photo%201_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="332" height="253" /></a></p> <p align="center">This student was mad I had added to his drawing. It’s not my fault he had no driver or wheels.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl65GH4CwI/AAAAAAAAATQ/7H-mbfenpig/s1600-h/photo%202%20%283%29%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (3)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (3)" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl65vIeTJI/AAAAAAAAATU/tYR0wNqV4CY/photo%202%20%283%29_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="330" height="251" /></a></p> <p align="center">I like this dragon-monster-thing. Why is that it’s always the quiet students that are really good at drawing?</p> <p> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl650gNNNI/AAAAAAAAATY/z5gECCX11Ts/s1600-h/photo%203%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 3" border="0" alt="photo 3" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl66QTeGDI/AAAAAAAAATc/O373N8QRyFI/photo%203_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="300" height="394" /></a></p> <p align="center">This elaborate drawing above was on the back of a student’s test. The picture below is a zoomed in photo of the bottom section.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl67a5NXRI/AAAAAAAAATg/9hvZV80843o/s1600-h/photo%202%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2" border="0" alt="photo 2" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl67-HbZPI/AAAAAAAAATk/ysVbVF32d08/photo%202_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="296" height="389" /></a></p> <p align="center">You are interpreting the picture correctly. The guy on the bottom has both of his hands tied and is being pooped on by the guy above him. I especially like the little burst-bubble coming off of the pooper’s head. </p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl68eeTylI/AAAAAAAAATo/KEsK48_G3tg/s1600-h/photo%203%20%282%29%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 3 (2)" border="0" alt="photo 3 (2)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl681Z0XOI/AAAAAAAAATs/_6zhA-Bxw-o/photo%203%20%282%29_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="281" height="369" /></a>  A somewhat abstract drawing of a fly eating cake.

The dog is kind of odd though.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl6-Ibw9vI/AAAAAAAAAT4/T8F7aqFMn10/s1600-h/photo%205%20%281%29%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 5 (1)" border="0" alt="photo 5 (1)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl6-khNeMI/AAAAAAAAAT8/Wjn3Rli1geI/photo%205%20%281%29_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="353" height="269" /></a>“Teddy don’t like mashed potatoes. He likes stuffing!”</p> <p align="center">This teddy bear is eating his own stuffing. I thought it was very clever and yet creepy. This fits my sort of humor though, so I like it. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl6_MdoT8I/AAAAAAAAAUA/mBWLZPKpaV4/s1600-h/photo%205%20%282%29%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 5 (2)" border="0" alt="photo 5 (2)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl6_UBw_kI/AAAAAAAAAUE/ku0_HrPYNkI/photo%205%20%282%29_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="234" height="349" /></a>This student was very proud of her intricate way of writing “HAREN”. This picture contains all five letters with a minimal amount of lines. My little brother used to do this with his name when he was younger.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl6_9aUFOI/AAAAAAAAAUI/dAZjXE_M2Ac/s1600-h/photo%205%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 5" border="0" alt="photo 5" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7ACbjpwI/AAAAAAAAAUM/D3FE-JY6ads/photo%205_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="261" height="343" /></a></p> <p align="center">A dead, crying, stuffed cat holding a stuffed heart that is dripping blood.  Of course you would draw that on the back of your math test. </p> <p align="left">The following collection of photos are pictures drawn on my white board and on my desks. My students point these out to me on the desk and I pretend to be very angry and tell them I need to take a picture as photo evidence so I can show it to the students who did it when I bust them. In reality, I don’t mind too much and I take the picture so I can put it on this blog.</p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7Av9mS1I/AAAAAAAAAUQ/BkAUz9wxE2A/s1600-h/NinjaDude%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="NinjaDude" border="0" alt="NinjaDude" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7A_aHfSI/AAAAAAAAAUU/v1ovCScojPo/NinjaDude_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7BYshxRI/AAAAAAAAAUY/s9hah8YLnc4/s1600-h/photo%201%20%282%29%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (2)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (2)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7BsrggxI/AAAAAAAAAUc/A3KpVVV1JI8/photo%201%20%282%29_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a> </p> <p align="center">I like the ninja a lot. This is the one I had to pretend to be mad about. In reality, it’s a pretty great sketch. </p> <p align="center">Apparently I’m the bomb. My students may not think so when I blow-up at them for using my markers. (See what I did there.)</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7BzvM4sI/AAAAAAAAAUg/hRqYMDzw5_E/s1600-h/photo%201%20%283%29%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (3)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (3)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7CFqvaQI/AAAAAAAAAUk/AJw5KESMHWI/photo%201%20%283%29_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="318" height="242" /></a>Again, I appreciate the compliment but I really don’t like students to waste my dry erase markers. They are expensive. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7Cvo7cJI/AAAAAAAAAUo/fEwdqqolqPI/s1600-h/photo%202%20%281%29%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (1)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (1)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7DecMwsI/AAAAAAAAAUs/Y5lG6v2pNcc/photo%202%20%281%29_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a> “Mr. Haren, can I draw on your board?”</p> <p align="center">“No. I don’t want you to waste the markers.”</p> <p align="center">“Ok, well I’ll just draw this weird-dead-stuffed-mouse-thing that has been exploded in the stomach. K. Thx!”</p> <p align="center">WTF.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7D-cto8I/AAAAAAAAAUw/lrFHXSy2j7E/s1600-h/photo%202%20%282%29%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 2 (2)" border="0" alt="photo 2 (2)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7EFseCpI/AAAAAAAAAU0/2I7KgKnBpB8/photo%202%20%282%29_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="314" height="241" /></a> </p> <p align="center">The childishness and yet logic with these comments is hilarious. Two students said that Rachel is gay with a guy Ben. Her only comment in return is that she’s not a guy, so she couldn’t be gay with another guy. I’m glad my geometry students are learning some logic.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7Eatd7XI/AAAAAAAAAU4/YWCWWsOzG3c/s1600-h/photo%203%20%281%29%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 3 (1)" border="0" alt="photo 3 (1)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7EqIRYcI/AAAAAAAAAU8/uWGryWMx5bg/photo%203%20%281%29_thumb%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="412" height="101" /></a>Why do you come to school?</p> <p align="center">“It’s the law. And my immediate family (my grandma, uncle, dad and dad’s gf) would kill me if I didn’t get an education and end up having to strip for heroin money.”</p> <p align="center">Well, yeah. I’m glad you know exactly what happens if you don’t go to school. </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7FC6kElI/AAAAAAAAAVA/ONtNk6eEaHM/s1600-h/photo%204%20%282%29%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 4 (2)" border="0" alt="photo 4 (2)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7FrfYXdI/AAAAAAAAAVE/TocCOxYRans/photo%204%20%282%29_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="212" height="279" /></a> </p> <p align="center">On the margin of one of my student’s homeworks. I have noticed recently that some students write emoticons backwards from what they originally were. e.g. (: instead of :). This is all fine unless you want to say :P, you know, a tongue sticking out. As you can see, in the picture, it becomes P: This is a person sticking their tongue up. Maybe they meant to do this though, I don’t know, I can’t keep up with this world of emoticons. Nevermind.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7GFWdncI/AAAAAAAAAVI/QMf7SrbO_Kg/s1600-h/photo%201%20%281%29%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 1 (1)" border="0" alt="photo 1 (1)" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7GmH0U1I/AAAAAAAAAVM/UaGQqCYRV_0/photo%201%20%281%29_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="332" height="253" /></a> </p> <p align="center">Found in one of my colleagues’ classrooms. I like the honesty.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7HibFQqI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/1UN7U9LmkvM/s1600-h/photo%204%20%281%29%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo 4 (1)" border="0" alt="photo 4 (1)" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7ILoV2gI/AAAAAAAAAVU/z9s243QPL7A/photo%204%20%281%29_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="283" height="256" /></a> </p> <p align="center">Another picture found in someone else’s classroom. I have to say that it is a pretty poor looking dinosaur. His front arms look floppy, he has a weird bumpy back, no eyes, and a weird tail.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7InF-uLI/AAAAAAAAAVY/23a-NdqNL_g/s1600-h/photo%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="photo" border="0" alt="photo" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TOl7JsGAcOI/AAAAAAAAAVc/XzoXTsi41UE/photo_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="300" height="394" /></a> </p> <p align="center">I’m closing out this blog with what is easily my favorite picture yet. One of my students made this because I told her I’d hang up her picture if it was good enough. If you couldn’t already tell, the zombie is supposed to be me. “Math, so easy a zombie can do it.” I am going to have this blown up into a large size poster.</p> <p align="center">Enjoy the holidays. I’ll hopefully have a new post in January.</p> Math Zombiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13981348248853557651noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934244232824439785.post-85793009840422515822010-10-10T22:07:00.001-04:002010-10-10T22:07:18.395-04:00Student Drawings Vol. 11<p>The first quarter of the school year is coming to a close which means I should probably make another post. I have a few funny pictures and some nice journal entries for you this time. Enjoy.</p> <p>I use the student bathroom 2-3 times a day and get the luxury off viewing their thought provoking graffiti on a regular basis. Here are what the fine walls of C-Building have to say. (Warning: may contain foul language.)</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJw-sPFDXI/AAAAAAAAAQo/H4z6jll6T_M/s1600-h/graffiti%202%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="graffiti 2" border="0" alt="graffiti 2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJw_fO-OhI/AAAAAAAAAQs/Dv8i-xaZl7M/graffiti%202_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="395" height="300" /></a> “ICP rocks”</p> <p align="center">“no     they fucking suck”</p> <p align="center">Valid point.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJw_3cJn5I/AAAAAAAAAQw/XfHahPVkF8w/s1600-h/graffiti%203%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="graffiti 3" border="0" alt="graffiti 3" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxAtiVFxI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/12RGI9bo1aU/graffiti%203_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="403" height="306" /></a></p> <p>Someone had written, “ICP rulez” (with a z to make it cooler). “rulez” was scratched out and so it was changed to “ICP IS ASS". I’m not sure what that means but I whole-heartedly agree. Then someone else felt it necessary to add “wwhoop whoop”.  I would like to know what the extra w is for in the first whoop, because then I would really understand what they are trying to say.</p> <p> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxBEutdmI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/Jg-VY2X71i0/s1600-h/graffiti%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="graffiti" border="0" alt="graffiti" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxCkKBWII/AAAAAAAAAQ8/DlVlXSVLWWc/graffiti_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="393" height="300" /></a> I discovered I have the great honor of using the same bathroom as the Newark High Debate Team. </p> <p align="center">“Fuck ICP!”</p> <p align="center">“good Answer” (Aren’t you supposed to defend ICP here?)</p> <p align="center">“fuck you then”</p> <p>If political debates were like this, I would watch them all.</p> <p align="center">e.g. “I support gay marriage.” “Fuck you then.” “Damn.”</p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left">Once a week I give my students a journal prompt as their bell work so they can write something. They usually have more fun with it because it is a fun prompt and because it doesn’t always involve math. I have more fun with it because it is more fun to see what goes through students heads than to analyze student math work.</p> <p align="left">The following are response to a prompt that said:</p> <p align="left">“You go to the store. Someone pushes you and yells, “MATH SUCKS!” You immediately…</p> <p align="center"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="math sucks 3" border="0" alt="math sucks 3" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxC3pm5rI/AAAAAAAAARA/ZV631T2Agsg/math%20sucks%203_thumb%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="401" height="139" /></p> <p align="center">“Call up the math mob leader Mr. Haren and tell him what happened then I throw a can of broccoli at them.”</p> <p align="center">Yes, that’s right.

I gonna call up the math club and we will jump you.”</p> <p align="center">I have a feeling that when I start up an actual math club, these students are going to be sadly disappointed.</p> <p align="left"> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxFrHGreI/AAAAAAAAARU/O7ojIG61Zr8/s1600-h/math%20sucks%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="math sucks" border="0" alt="math sucks" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxGAiTdaI/AAAAAAAAARY/9O-uR1y8Nzg/math%20sucks_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="124" /></a> “find a bag of red onions and peel them. Then I would throw them at that person so they would cry. I would shame them and spill kerosene everywhere with a lit match in my hand. Before the store combusts, I would run away and steal another bag of red onions and escape to my house.”</p> <p align="left">This is an example of when I don’t want to know what students are thinking. The peeling so they’ll cry is pretty elaborate. And this student has an odd fascination with red onions.</p> <p align="left"> </p> <p align="left">Another prompt told the students that tomorrow they would be sent to a deserted island indefinitely. They don’t know what will be there already but they are allowed to bring three items. Many of my students would die within a few days based on their choices. Some are clever.</p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxGowzEVI/AAAAAAAAARc/jgYLr7EqmAg/s1600-h/survival%202%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="survival 2" border="0" alt="survival 2" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxHae-uPI/AAAAAAAAARg/USd1-VnnM14/survival%202_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="306" height="233" /></a></p> <p align="center">Many of my students listed cell phone. I told them afterward that their battery would die, they wouldn’t have electricity and they probably wouldn’t have service. At least this student said wireless router.</p> <p align="left"> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxH2upEKI/AAAAAAAAARk/iSC9Eik6lIU/s1600-h/survival%203%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="survival 3" border="0" alt="survival 3" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxIaNekAI/AAAAAAAAARo/K_lepv6SG-Y/survival%203_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="331" height="252" /></a>I also got many spellings of yacht. Yaght, yahgt, yahct, yaht. I am pretty shocked by the “plain”. Seriously. This is one of my enriched students. Out of the three words they chose, they spell yacht correctly, wow. Also, do they really need all three of these to get home? This is overkill. </p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxIhHW9wI/AAAAAAAAARs/CX_MmiJwZ9o/s1600-h/survival%204%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="survival 4" border="0" alt="survival 4" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxJBOpb6I/AAAAAAAAARw/wQWpD6DijzU/survival%204_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="323" height="246" /></a>Food. Now a student is thinking. Though I did say three items, so they would get to bring one item of food, which is hardly worth it. Wood and leaves? Really? My students are crazy. </p> <p align="left"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxKUY0cJI/AAAAAAAAAR0/Cce1E_YB1lY/s1600-h/survival%205%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="survival 5" border="0" alt="survival 5" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TLJxKm2MTQI/AAAAAAAAAR4/uH2AxBTza3Q/survival%205_thumb%5B6%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="371" height="142" /></a>Again with the cell phone.

Summer was great and we are now a few weeks into another school year. The year is going wonderfully so far and I have a nice new batch of student drawings to start the year off. </p> <p>I asked my students to draw a mathematician on their bell work. These are the most enjoyable results.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TJa0jxgsMuI/AAAAAAAAAOY/_EaEdXVjFjY/s1600-h/Mathematician%202%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Mathematician 2" border="0" alt="Mathematician 2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TJa0kbelanI/AAAAAAAAAOc/USx0gZxaeQo/Mathematician%202_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TJa0kzyD8wI/AAAAAAAAAOg/YxS_zwzlfbs/s1600-h/Mathematician%204%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="Mathematician 4" border="0" alt="Mathematician 4" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/TJa0leYj5uI/AAAAAAAAAOk/tc3hksUyfMk/Mathematician%204_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a></p> <p align="center">The one on the left seems to have a crack habit.

There are a few pictures below plus students responses to a survey I gave them. I got to see that all students see in me is my beard.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/S8UWigLuxXI/AAAAAAAAAKM/7vUBewj31vQ/s1600-h/photo%20%281%29%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo (1)" border="0" alt="photo (1)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/S8UWjEbPkbI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/x01T1Y_SeEQ/photo%20%281%29_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a>This is a picture one student drew of what he thought another student would look like 30 years from now.

They think I am a bear because I’m hairy. So they joke about me mauling them and eating berries and all things bears do. This student also says I should bring in “haren cups”, this is how he refers to my homemade Reese’s Cups.</p> <p> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/S8UWkwrEW_I/AAAAAAAAAKc/joM627K7BWA/s1600-h/photo%205%20%281%29%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="photo 5 (1)" border="0" alt="photo 5 (1)" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/S8UWlnyhOmI/AAAAAAAAAKg/eeWMIlH1qcI/photo%205%20%281%29_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="413" height="195" /></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">“Mr. Haren is a pretty cool guy, eh he’s a bear that likes zombies and doesn’t afraid of anything.”</font></p> <p align="left"><font size="2">Sadly, the above comment pretty much sums up my life.

Unfortunately, the pi-eater is supposed to be me but the student assured me I'm not really <i>that</i> fat, it's just because of all the pies I have eaten.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/S4qEXdaI1lI/AAAAAAAAAGY/upmTUDibvN8/s1600-h/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fk10fvzBi0I/S4qEXdaI1lI/AAAAAAAAAGY/upmTUDibvN8/s400/photo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Math Zombiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13981348248853557651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934244232824439785.post-51790584636093323242010-02-25T21:23:00.000-05:002010-02-25T21:23:43.269-05:00Failed Test = Nice Drawings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I gave a test in one of my class today.
