I Sound Just Like the Mouse

I just finished reading a chapter book to my class. At the end we were discussing some of our favorite parts. Brady mentioned that his favorite part was when the mouse talked because he always got words mixed up. I said "Yeah. Like when he said, 'I must sell tomebody. I mean I must tell somebody.' [said in the high, squeaky voice I used for the mouse in the book]. Belinda started laughing and said, "Teacher, you sound just like the mouse did in the book!"

A Beaver???

After explaining what to do on the paper I was going to give my students, I handed it out to one student at a time and then they were to go back to their desk and get started. I handed one to Chase and he walked back to his desk. I watched him as he pulled his chair out and put his paper on his desk. He didn't sit down, however. Instead, he knelt down and started gnawing on his desk!?!

I asked him to come back over to me and he immediately got up and walked back to me. I asked him what he was doing. After putting his head down and looking to the ground in his characteristic 'ashamed' look, he said, "I was being like a beaver."

What do you say to that?
