My ELA class is a combination of 7th and 8th grade students. They stay for two years, so our current eighth graders are on year two with us. It's cool, because they become the mentors to the seventh graders.
Yesterday, when I was home sick, I guess one of the seventh graders told one of the eighth graders that he needed to rename the turtle (the stuffed animal turtle that sits in the window and is used as a talking piece sometimes during discussions).
She replied, "You aren't even an OG in this class, you can't name the turtle!"
My coteacher told me she overheard this conversation yesterday and meant to text it to me last night. Kids are so funny, especially when they use language like this in the perfect context!
That is TOO funny! I love the use of OG! How fun to hear this "old school" reference used by a teen! One of the many reasons I love teaching junior high; they keep us on our toes and laughing!
