A Few Gems

The students in my class who are taking Spanish are clearly putting their new skills to good use. Yesterday I heard them saying to each other "Voy jamon!" (I go ham).

I was reading their discussion board posts and one of the kids wrote comments to some other students:

"Do you work for NASA? Because your response is out of this world."

"Do you take karate? Because your response is really kicking."

"This makes me want to tear up inside. So deep and just so wonderful. Amazing work young man."

On one of the discussion boards, the kids had to tell which book cover they preferred and identified them by number. This student completed the response, and then responded TO HIMSELF, with this:

number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9

I am also, 100% over the phrase YOLO. In reading discussion board posts, it seems this kid isn't:
