My students are obsessed with Mohamed Salah. We are studying position words in math, so I made this poster. I got about a third of the way through it before I realized I was going to have to write "Mohamed Salah is between the balls." Don't even care. I contemplated placing the balls a little more tastefully so they didn't look as phallic, but there was clearly no fun in that. I love first grade because kids don't get stuff like this yet. A couple years ago my student teacher was doing a lesson about tidepools, and she was adding details from a text to a thinking chart. She kept saying things like, "I already have crabs, so I don't need more," and "I don't want more crabs." I was dying, which made her laugh, and pretty soon the both of us had lost it. I heard one kid say to another, "Why are they laughing, crabs aren't even funny." Most of the time, kiddo, you're absolutely right. But sometimes crabs are hilarious.
