What are you thankful for?

I take attendance by having the students answer a question.

What are you thankful for?

Many common thanks went out to:

  • friends
  • family
  • individual specific siblings
And more general thanks for:
  • visual studio code
  • being alive
  • forgiveness
  • the indomitable human spirit
  • everyone that ever offers me help
  • pass/fail

Overall it was a very positive group, everyone found something very nice to be thankful for!

Why did the chicken cross the road?

 I take attendance by having the students answer a question.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Chicken-based answers:

  • to talk to the hen
  • trynna find somewhere to lay the egg
  • on its way to KFC
  • to run away from the slaughter house and pursue its dreams
  • the road was built over its habitat
Other answers:
  • good exercise! / #cardio
  • to meet his friend
  • to learn C++
  • because roads exist
  • they were based
  • because it was there
  • to get to the McDonald's on the other side
  • for fun
  • to obtain a sense of morality
  • I don't know
And of course there were 10 responses "to get to the other side."


This post's theme word is chevachee (n), "an expedition, raid, or campaign." The chicken chevashee descended in a flurry of feathers and surprise.
