We played kick ball in 7th grade gym class today. It wasn't even "regular," boring kick ball, it was 5-base kick ball. We also used a GIANT rubber ball. It was all those kids could do to get it airborne. Two of the girls were really tiny, and I had to suppress a laugh whenever they ran at the ball and caught it, nearly knocking them over in the process.
The following conversation took place in one of the special ed classes (actually, it is more of a resource room, a quiet, calmer place for some kids to come work on stuff for other classes).
Student: What's 30/40?
Mr. C: Oh, come on. You can do that one in your head. It's three-fourths, or .75
Student: Sure, you can do it. You know there's a reason we're in this room...
Mr. C: ..... *shakes head*
(Time passes)
Student: Oh! 30 starts with a 3 and 40 starts with a 4! That IS easy!
Mr. C: Yup.
