Teaching is like jogging
• I am a teacher. A teacher is someone who
leads. There is no magic here. I do not
walk on water. I do not part the sea. I just
love children.
--- Marva Collins

Customs and Superstitions
101 American Superstitions ~ Harry Collis
• Pulling out a gray hair will cause more to grow
• People have always thought that hair had
magical powers and there are many superstitions
about human hair. One belief is that pulling out
a single gray or white hair will cause ten more to
grow in its place.
• John got angry every time he looked in the
mirror and see a new gray hair. But he was
afraid to pull out even one because he believed
that if he did, he would grow even more gray.
• Something old, Something new,
Something borrowed, Something blue,
• When getting married, brides traditionally wear or carry
something old, something new, something borrowed,
and something blue.” Something old” can be anything
that has brought good luck to its owner in the past.
“Something new” is a symbol of hope for the
future. ”Something borrowed” adds the good luck of the
giver to traditional protection for all women.
• A: Anna, the ceremony is about to begin. Are you ready?
• B: Yes. I’m wearing my grandmother’s necklace (old)
and my beautiful wedding gown(new). Dad’s lucky
penny (borrowed) is tired into my bouquet with a
blue ribbon(blue). Everything is perfect.
• Taking the last piece of food
• There is a superstition that warns us
never to take the last piece of food on a
plate. To do so means that we won’t
marry, or if we are married, we may soon
find ourselves unmarried again.
• The family laughed at young Michael
because he ate so much. They said he
would still be unmarried at 40 because at
dinner he always took the last piece of
meat and drank the last glass of milk.
• Pulling a wish bone
• The forked bone that lies between
the neck and breast of a bird is
called the wish bone. When two
people pull the bone until it breaks,
the one holding the larger piece is
given a wish. For the wish to come
true, it must be kept secret.

• A: Are you trying to cause trouble?
• B: What did I do?
• A: You put your shoes on the kitchen table.

Stories…Diary of a Wimpy Kid
• September
In my class, I got stuck with Chris Hosey in
front of me and Lionel James in back of me.
Jason Brill came in late and almost sat to my
right, but luckily I stopped that from
happening at the last second. Next period, I
should just sit in the middle of a bunch of hot
girls as soon as I step in the room. But I guess
if I do that, it just proves I didn’t learn
anything form last year.
