Back in September, I posted about my bad luck with pointy fingers. You can read that HERE: http://jim-merson.blogspot.com/2012/09/bad-luck-with-pointy-fingers.html
I have this pointy finger thing I use with my document camera. Last Friday I was out of school because I had this Girls Retreat. . . I had a great sub, left lots of work, my room was reasonably clean.
Before I left on Thursday, I saw my pointy finger (with a Cracker Jack prize pencil topper on it!) on my cart with my document camera. I started to put it away, but thought no, it will be OK.
Today, I get back to school, read my note and breath a sigh of relief, mostly. Three of my four classes were good, one was terrible, but I sort of expected that. I’m going on with my classes today, having a pretty good day. Imagine my surprise when I walk past my cart and see. . .
the Cracker Jack pencil topper lying on the cart and the pointy finger – NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!! I think of my students stole it, but first, took the topper off and left it on the cart. I was (and still am) furious!! Who does that?? I guess I need a yellow once, since I’ve had every other color and they have all disappeared!! I can’t believe it.
