Pick me Pick me!!!

Every teacher wants eager students in their class...
Today made me smile... perhaps the eagerness was too much.

There is a girl in my class, and she reminds me of myself in many ways.

She's sarcastic, she wants to join the army when she grows up (I wanted to join the army when I was a little tacker), she's well behaved (tee-hee), kind of shy but happy to mix with anyone from the class. Let's just say if the class were full of little Janies (not her real name) my classroom would be a muchly happy place... lol.

This is what happened today.

In a box I had some MAB blocks making a four digit number. The children had to raise their hand and guess the number, I would reply with a higher or lower... continue until someone guessed the correct number.

Janie... listening intently had noticed that someone had actually said a number I had already said higher too... and in fact if they had been listening they would have been able to figure out what the number was! Janie... bouncing up and down on her seat arm flailing in the air eyes popping out of her head and a big smile to boot!....

I was trying hard not to laugh actually... I digress.....

The effort to stop laughing was put to an end when she couldn't stand it any longer and called out 'pick me I know the bloody answer!' ..... oh god!

You'd laugh too right?!?!
