It was almost time for Thanksgiving dinner. We sat watching football, anxiously awaiting the turkey, mashed potatoes, and dressing. Unfortunately we were having trouble concentrating because my 17 year old niece and 14 year old nephew were wrestling around on the couch. Finally, their mom couldn't stand it anymore.She yelled Cut it out, both of you!
Luke whined: But mom
Leah whined: But mom
Luke whined: But mom, she's so annoying.
Leah responded: Get off of me!
Do you get the picture? Leah had been sitting on the couch minding her own business when Luke came over and sat on top of her. He started pestering her until it ended in the screaming match that got their mom involved. But in his mind, she was soooo annoying.
Naturally this situation made me start to think about the students in Reading Workshop. I know that their teacher is never annoying :) , but what about them. Do they ever blame someone else, before looking in the mirror?
What do you think? Are you the annoying one?

Mr. McGuire, I honestly think that I am not the annoying one because Rachel is the little instigator. I think that is very true, even you know how my little sister is. I hope you have fun with her next year!
I am hardly the instigator It is manely my sister Alina. I hope you had fun with her!
