Miss Webb is Missing!

Today I had intern training all day...boo...it's actually not bad, it can just get boring, and it is annoying to write sub plans. I have the best sub though, she is a mother in my class and is the best!
Anyway, today I left a special assignment for my little children to do. If you've ever read the book Miss Nelson is Missing! you know that it is a gem. A teacher has the worst behaved class ever so she goes missing. The sub that comes to take care of them is horrible and all the students want their teacher back. There is also a fun twist at the end, go read it!
I had my sub (who is wonderful not terrible) read the book to my kids and then I gave them the assignment to write a story of where I was and draw a picture. The result was hilarious! They are so funny!
These kids are a riot. Here are some gems.
Possible (What I wish I was actually doing): "Miss Webb is maybe at the spa getting her hand and feet done. (just one hand) Getting them mashased (massaged) and her toes nails and finger nails are painted. And shes having fun without use (us)"

Not a bad day I would say.

Maybe I shouldn't wear large flowers in my hair....or tell them about my fear of clowns...."today Miss Webb Dident come to school today And we had A suBsitout I think She got stuck in a fluffy living flower (Wait....aren't all flowers alive?) that moves and It swallowed her. Or she got stuck In a maze and she tock the not scary exit. Because there were scary clowns. So She was so scared And She was late"

I think the ocean themed room may be rubbing off on him..."Miss Webb is Missing I think she went to the ocean and she was scoobidiving and she found a well (whale). Then she got on the well and started to go sround the ocean. Then she sleped with the wells over night. After that she got to feed there baby well. Then she starting coming back but she found a dolfin (my favorite!) and right now she is riding with a dolfin family. The End"

I'm still trying to figure out what happened here...At least the gorillas were mean for taking me..."Miss Webb is Missing today! She might got caried away by grillas! She was probaly sleeping like a inisint little baby. When those stupid, mean, rude grillas came and cidnaped her! And there pribly in the gungle bring a monkey!"

The novel that leaves me weary of birds....and moles. "When Miss Webb's class got into the classroom they realized something was wrong. For a second they couldn't figure out what was wrong but then someone shouted out 'Miss Webb is missing!' The classroom was filled with chattering. Everyone whispering or talking. 'Maybye she went to a different country' 'Or she got carried away by eagles!!!' Finally everyone agreed on one thing....She was captured by the animals that escaped the zoo last night!!!! No one was absolutely sure so they went to Miss Webb's house. (How do they know where I live?!) On the way there was more suggestions "The flamingos probably carried her along with the three eagles." "The moles probably put her in a underground chamber." "The caterpillars threw her in the trash!" (That was a weird comment.) (the last parentheses was actually part of the story...haha!) When they got to the house they tried everything. They knocked on her door, rang the doorbell, and banged on the windows. They gave up in despair. The next day she still wasn't there. Where is she. Find out next time on channel 37."

They're so great.
