It happens to everyone: words get jumbled between the brain and mouth, we enter into a conversation a moment too late... or we are simply confused. Ironically, these are the moments that help us remember the important information from class; laughter is a powerful learning tool. This is an opportunity to remember the special moments, lessons, activities, characters, and, of course, the miscommunications from our class. Help me to keep track of them and I will compile these into a booklet at the end of the year. Please remember that class rules apply: I will not tolerate any malicious attacks on any student or teacher. This is not meant to poke fun at anyone; it is meant in a spirit of reliving the occasional happy moment in our very special circle of hell :-)
I'll get started:
ReplyDeleteDuring Mythology review game -
Question: What was Zeus's special tree?
Answer: "A stag?"
Jeremy launching into a defensive crouch with fists up when I walked up behind him to simply speak with Paige.
During the Mythology review game when Kevin kept saying dove for every bird including Ares.
ReplyDeleteFor the answer to the question why Aphrodite might represent Venus, Megan said because they were both hot and Tori said because they were "lovey" colors.
When taking the mythology test, Miss Arney tried to scare me by screaming hurry up in my face. But while i looked up and started laughing, Jimin (two seats behind me) was startled.
ReplyDeleteThat defensive crouch was completely justified!
ReplyDeleteWhen Miss Arney went behind Jeremy and did the furies and he had a spaz attack and almost threw the textbook at her...classic.
ReplyDeleteToday in class when Jeremy left the classroom to go to the bathroom and all the sudden, "Officer Hans" walked in with Jeremy, who looked scared.
ReplyDeleteToday Mrs. Arney screamed at Jeremy for losing a bathroom pass, then he walked back next to "Officer Hans" with horrified expression from the bathroom.
ReplyDeleteDuring our first quiz and summer reading test for mythology and And Then There Were None, Mrs. Arney scared me!
ReplyDeleteWhen Miss Arney went over to Miss DeNoyelles room to do the furies scream for the eigth graders and after that we heard a crash(possibly someone falling out of their chair). Then Miss Arney walked in and said there was a puddle on the floor.
ReplyDeletethe funniest was when Miss Arney did the furies scream to Richie and for the next five minutes atlest he just kept saying, "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, my head hurts, oh my god"
ReplyDelete@ Megan:
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't Jimin during the test. It was me. lol
Also when Mrs. DeNoyles comes into our room and says that her 8th graders didn't believe Ms. Arney could yell that loud... After we heard her scream at one kid we heard a loud banging sound, and "...someone fell..."
And when Hanes used to come in everyday and write on the board, "BEHAVE!" or something of the sort.
ReplyDeleteSorry Nanxi!
ReplyDeleteWhen Miss Arney did the Furies scream for the first time to Billy who sits next to me.. I almost peed myself.

ReplyDeletei thought that when miss arney did the furies to richie during the review game and he hit his head!! that was really funny.
ReplyDeleteWho is spoddy 21?
ReplyDeleteWhen Miss Arney asked Jermey to "Here" and he started to immitate a chicken.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, I think that spoddy21 is Shawna O. You should still check with her because I am not completely sure. I hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteWhen Miss Arney started screaming at me that i was a "verbist" and I responded with "My parents are like that too!!" and she and james thought that was hysterical.
ReplyDeleteWhen Miss Arney put on a deep southern accent telling us that we best follow the rules of grammer.

ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA That extra help session was hilarious killeen!!!! During my grammar tests im going to hear Miss Arney screaming "VERBALIST!!" for every question! ;P
ReplyDeleteOOOOH and when Ms Denoyles came in and was talking about how you hit kiera!!! heheheheheh
Well...I did my extra credit and i swear to you...I did not forget ONE helping verb
ReplyDeleteKilleen: I'll be making sure. Please; come to the LIGHT side and stop being a verbist.
ReplyDeleteand I think the conversation went like this:
Miss A: "So, what's the verb"
Killeen: "have?"
Miss A: "VERBIST!!!!!"
Killeen: "It's not my fault; my parents are that way!"
I'm spoddy21 Miss Arney, sorry!! I hadn't made a Blogger account when I wrote that.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were talking about how Odysseus's house was based around the bedroom where the bed was made from an Olive tree. Then Julie says something like so wait does that mean Odysseus's house is a treehouse?
ReplyDeleteDanielle, and Jeremy said, "We HAVE to put that on the blog Miss Arney."
ReplyDeleteMs. DeNoyelles' English 8 Honors was being a little too nosiy while we were taking our Odyssey test. I recommended that Miss Arney should go into their room and deliver a Fury attack. Instead, we pulled one better and all screamed at the same time in the middle of the test to get back at Ms. DeNoyelles' class.
ReplyDeleteIt always freaks myself and probably most of the class out when during the middle of a test, such as Mythology or The Odyssey, Miss Arney tells us we have five or ten minutes left. There is just a look on everyone's face that says, "I am never going to finish this test."
ReplyDeleteIt was really funny when, people went to say the prepositions for extra credit, and Kevin and Jason did theres to the beat of We will rock you, it was so unexpected.
ReplyDelete-Lauren
After school one day, Terence decided to commit clownicide due to an unlucky combination of his fear of clowns and the presence of Miss Arney's inflatable clown doll.
ReplyDeleteAfter Terence had told Miss Arney about his clownphobia, she took out an inflatable clown, and started hitting everyone with it.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney pulling Ms. Iorio around in the rolling chair and asking "Who gave her?" and then gave her to Kelly, I think?
ReplyDeleteAnd also, Miss Arney drew all over the inflatable clown's face then threw it at Terence! Then he decided he'll become friends with that clown.
"Miss Arney is chasing Jeremy" (around the classroon).
ReplyDeleteHans (having snuck into the room): I am Miss Arney! Mwahhahaha!
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney "healing" Nanxi and threatening me with strangulation
By the way, if I do not return on Monday, it is because my fear of not being able to breathe outweighs my desire to learn; I will be in either Canada (using the sea route, of course) or Timbuktu.
On one of Alyssa's diagramming assignments, the lines for the compound verb were very squiggley and crossed out. Her comment in the margin: "The rocket ship crashed...."
ReplyDeleteIn class today when I was hysterically laughing... Sarah (and she gave me permission to say this was her) thought "parados" sounds like "Gyarados", as in the Pokemon. It was one of those times when I have no idea why but I couldn't stop laughing.
ReplyDeleteAnd then as soon as I calmed down Miss Arney said, "This imitation, or mimesis, is a writer's attempt to represent reality or truth in an artistic form." And Sarah goes, "Mimesis... Mr. Mime?" Another Pokemon... Sad how I know this, but I know I'm not alone.
What not to tell YOUR Harvard professor:
ReplyDelete"A pronoun is a noun that's lost its amateur status."
"Verbals are vicious gerbils."
"Anagnorisis is the protagonist's 'holy crap' moment."
this is way back in the beginning of the year! When we were filling in our mythology study guides, Miss Arney showed us the pictures of the gods from other cultures, the god of fertility from like australia or something reminded killeen of a fetus! Killeen felt that she should share this with the class and no one else even understood what she was saying!! I thought it was soo funny!!! lol even Miss Arney was a bit disturbed... haha :)
ReplyDeleteToday in class, we were doing group work and I told Grace to turn her desk around and face Jason, and she responded, "No, I don't like looking at him!"
ReplyDeleteToday right before the bell, we just started singing the songs from "Grease"
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney said that she could make fun of our silly drawings for the TKAM posters if we can make fun of her 'sheep' voice
ReplyDeleteToday when we were talking about the symbolism of the Spelling Bee Medal in TKAM and how it would be passed on in rememberance of Boo, Miss Arney asked Grace what she was going to do with her dad's basketball trophies when he dies and Grace replied she was going to throw them in the garbage!
