Happy Thanksgiving
FOUND by PrimeTIme
in a high school
I found this note on day in my classroom after the kids left.
I was initially sad to hear that somebody had a rough morning and then i realized that some of the kids hadn't been on task the entire time during the period dedicated to silent sustained reading.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Probably mad at you for stuffin' the turkey, if you know what I mean.
Hey! The Magnify button actually made this find larger and clearer! I clicked to see if there was more on the back, and it did what it says on the tin....uh, button.
"I'm bringin paper next time"...they didn't run out of time, just space!
so is this written on an index card? (with the top margin at the bottom)
What's a matta you, Hey
ya gotta no respect.
Whatta you think you do
Why you looka so sad.
It'sa not so bad, it's a nicea place.
Ah Shuddupa ya face ...
I'm bringin' paper next time.
Ricky don't lose that numby,
cuz Dad is wnicked mad.
I know Bo is up to no good.
Now why can't everyone just relax and have some birthday cake?
wicked bummah
Bo...thanks for the Dr. Dimento memory. One of my favorites from those days.
I'm so glad I have boys ... they don't look as bad when you knock their teeth out.
Found by Prime Time in a high school. City? State? Where? To me, the name Bo conjures up a tanned, shirtless, summer blond surfer dude. But that's just because I know one of those.
Hey, Prime Time, do you actually, honestly believe that all of the kids stay on task the entire time during the period dedicated to silent sustained reading? That it's even possible?
LOL.
(are they not allowed notebooks during silent sustained reading? Did they have to scrounge this random, small piece of paper from somewhere?)
In my school, silent, sustained reading was hangover recovery hour for my teacher. ("I'm just sayin'")
Okay. This is weird. I just wrote that comment on today's other find about Thanksgiving and romance.. and here's this find. Honest. I didn't see this one first.
Is someone at Found really so together as to figure out when a child born today would have been conceived?
Nope. Prolly not. It's just Found Magic again!! Hehehe! Oh this makes me giddy-happy!
And I'm thinking that the teenage writer of this note should not have too happy a Thanksgiving, or Dad really WILL be wnicked mad, come next August. Let's hope that serious talk comes in time!
I wish my subject area included SSR.
is it really necessary to articulate the sustainability of the reading in the name of the class. i mean, a period called "silent reading" seems clear enough to me. how about audible sustained algebra for 2nd... alcohol sustained 7th period anyone?
Going to go teacher nerd on here for a sec-
The SSR Handbook: How to Organize and Manage a Sustained Silent Reading Program by Janice L. Pilgreen
That is the best reference for SSR programs that I've found. It is possible to do it right, but there are a lot of ways to do it wrong.
