How Could I Forget....

...that a student proposed!! :)

OK, before you think it's scandalous or anything, here's the story.

I was teaching about European Feudalism and we were talking about how it was nice to be king or a lord, but not so much a peasant. I was also reminding them that they needed to stay on my good side because I was the queen of the classroom and I would be chosing who was going to be the king and the lords and knights and serfs during our Feudalism activity the following week. They were all trying to "flatter" me and I was telling them that it wasn't working and then one kid, Sean, who was sitting on the floor in the front of the room got a big grin on his face.
"I know how to be king!" He exclaimed, and then rolled up onto one knee in front of me and pretended to open a ring box.
Needless to say, the entire class and I cracked up. And Sean, for his effort, was given the position of knight for the activity.
Hey, there was NO way that I was actually going to make him king! That would be wwwwaaayyyy too awkward! :)
