Great Exclamations for Teachers!


Okay! I was grading papers today and just wanted some more creative words than what I had been using lately so I decided look up exclamations and interjections from the English language on Google. Then I still didn't feel quite satisfied so I then cruised the Exclamations and Interjection lists of Spanish and Italian (since we use those quite often in our language as well). Here is my collection of fanciful words to use when grading papers. Please feel free to swipe any you would like. I printed my list off and now have them posted with tape on the side of my computer monitor so I have easy access while I am hunched over my students' papers!

I would love to see the context in which, you, Trina, would use Righteous :) As a student I would be rolling on the floor with glee thinking of my teacher saying righteous.
Love you T!
