Anyone Know What Boof Is?

Valentine's Day brings one of my teaching traditions. I get the kids to write about things they like about each other. After last year's banner crop, I was expecting big things. Unfortunately, this year's class wasn't nearly as funny as last year's. But I still did get some funny ones including one girl who just listed what she liked about each kid's wardrobe choices. She also missed the part about not writing anything about herself. So what does Girl Named After a Month like most about herself? The answer is simple - "I like you because of the coats you wear."

Make sure to read last year's entry for a description of the exercise.

Some others:

I like you because you help me get my boots off my locker.

I like your backpack and thanks for the eraser.

Thanks for opening my apple sack last year.

You always tell good stories and I can talk to you about the Rolling Stones.

I think you are really good at drawing because you have a soft hand move.

I like all the pants you wear.

It is fun playing Boof with you.

I like you when you sit at my desk during lunch because you do a great job cleaning up.

You are good at turning your face red.

You are very very good at getting away with things!

You interrupt a lot less than me.

I think you are nice because if you accidentally bump into me, you always say sorry.

I like you because we both like monkeys and when you act like a monkey, I sometimes think you are a monkey.
