not sure if you're a boy or a girl

I love my 8th graders. They’re so awesome. When I was at Shady Hill, people took Physics By Design because they wanted to get out of science by playing with Legos. This class that I’m helping with is genuinely excited about physics.  Today is Black History Assembly where all the little Shady Hillers take cancel afternoon classes so they can go and show the parents what they’re paying for.  This was a conversation I overheard yesterday…

Travis: Ms. Bratzel, do we have science class tomorrow?
Ms. Bratzel: Yes, morning classes are all the same, just 5 minutes shorter.
Travis: YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!

And that is why I love this class. They’re building Lego balances right now and there’s one group that has found the mass of the little connector pegs for the sake of making their balance even more precise. Can I say it again? I love this class.

Also, I felt obligated to inform the internets (really, Facebook told me to do it) that Gabi is beautiful.
