Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever. The End. Moulin Rouge! (2001) dir. Baz Luhrmann

6th grade is probably my favorite grade to teach because they're the perfect combination of relatively enthusiastic and "just now starting to learn not to take things too seriously" without typically getting "too cool" for anything we do. as a result they're the best kids to read marcus aurelius to because they still think it's fun and will quiet down for it while also finding some of the things marcus aurelius says amusing. the best part about it though is that if i accidentally get distracted and forget to give them their dose of 2nd century CE stoic philosophy they call me out on it because they really want to hear what he has to say

what im saying is the other day in class i may have had a small group of 11-12 year olds yelling "WHAT ABOUT MARCUS" at me because i forgot to read them a passage from the meditations at the start of class
