...My students gave to me a beautiful made-from-scratch cake.
I usually don't start Carolinimas so early, but one can't argue with a surprise birthday not-party thrown by 6th block. (We do not have parties in high school, you see.)
Since my students are self-described Mexicans, we did the cake Mexican style. That means I had to take the first bite out of the cake itself. Just lean over and bite while my students stood around laughing with cameras. And one leaned over and pushed my head into the cake. Oh yes, I got frosting up my nose and everything. I made them promise to email me the pictures.
Maybe it wasn't a laguage arts standard, but it was human connection. That is worthy of high school if anything is.
