well. it's 2.30 am and i can't sleep.
so much for resting up for a full day of studying tomorrow....
so inevitably around christmas time,
well. it's 2.30 am and i can't sleep.
so much for resting up for a full day of studying tomorrow....
so inevitably around christmas time,
kids launch into passionate debates about the validity of santa claus.
today i was sitting with a group of grade 3 and 4 students,
trying to settle them down to start reading group.
they were in the middle of such a discussion,
when a girl commented,
"santa clause WAS real.
he died in france."
"what?" i asked, a little surprised.
"yeah, i read it online."
a few kids nodded.
"yeah, my brother told me that too," another kid quipped.
and that seemed to put an end to the discussion.
