This week was Teacher Appreciation Week at Angus's school - on Friday, kids were supposed to bring their teacher a small token gift. runsamuck picked up some nice nailclippers (which were really more expensive than we intended, but what the hey, Mr. C has been pretty nice compared to other teachers Angus has had), but they didn't come in any sort of box - so he made an origami box and we tucked it in through the hole. Then Angus decorated it with markers - which I suppose we should have done before the paper was folded.

Also included in the box was an URL and an explanation of why, on the day he was supposed to have brought a handwritten note, he wrote down what he thought he heard here; that is, a homophonic ancient Chinese poem we'd listened to (not that we speak it, I just found it interesting). Although, he only wrote it (an entire note consisting of nothing but "shi shi shi-shi shishi") and didn't explain to Mr. C what it was (I blame a_hollow_year - she linked to it XD ).

Earlier in the week, when they were supposed to bring a flower, I gave him one from the coreopsis plants I put in last fall - they're going crazy right now. Later, I asked if Mr. C had liked it and he told me "I think I'm the only one in my class doing this."
