The Janitor's Boy
Would you chew thirteen pieces of bubble gum and then smear them on the bottom of a school desk because you were angry at your dad who was also the custodian of the school?? That is the question and experiment that we had in reading class yesterday afternoon. I gave all of my students three pieces of gum, had them chew, take it out and then asked them to stick it under their desks. They looked at me like I was insane. This was our introduction into the new book we will be reading for the next month...The Janitor's Boy.
The gum was a major hit!
Put this under my desk are you crazy??
YUCK!
We can't wait to dive into this book!
