Beitlers in NYC

I always enjoy the yearly fieldtrip to the zoo. The zoo is contained enough to allow students some freedom. The trip also allows for time to hang out and have fun with the kids. Lunch is always my favorite time!

This year I enjoyed watching a 6th grade dating ritual. Without mentioning names, I’ll just say it was better than any exhibit. The whole event was initiated by the “hottie” male cruising by the female group, catching the eye of one ready-to-date female. After observing the “hottie” male pass by several times, the female called out to him, then gathered the courage to approach the male group, but only in the presence of the other females. And well, after pushing, shoving, running away, returning, and so on, phone numbers were exchanged, and to my surprise, a smooch on the cheek. And to all you sixth-graders out there who may read this, don’t take offense. I was in 6th grade once-upon-a-time-ago.  I just think it’s too cute!
