Stand Up Comedy Time.
Hi folks!
(you say: Hi AJ!)
When you work with computers, you get junk mail. When you are a teacher, you think you get serious mail from other teachers, but sometimes you can get a laugh out of it too. My daughter shared a few pearls that she got in her junk last week.

Life is tough.
Some would say, life socks on apples –
for some more then others, and yet… when you are teaching children, life can be fun too.
If you can forget that all of the things I am going to tell you next were written in TESTS…. that is.
So, forget the tests… just have some free thinking.
We all know that children are very practical. Want some proof?

Or what would you think about this would be policeman solving math:

Some Geography perhaps? There still may be a chance to see these:
