Not sure what to do...
Just a quick note about what happened during our writing time.  I had the students write about what they would do on a rainy day.  I then collected their journals and read them aloud and had the class applauded in different ways after reading them.  Long story short, I got to one story that said something like "I would play games and read books.  Then I would call my teacher and have a sleepover..."  This was written by a girl (the students didn't know that) but I felt like I had to immediately address this and say that my number is unlisted, no student has ever called me, I don't have sleepovers, etc.  This just put a little uneasy feeling on me and now I'm wondering if I should make a copy of it and discuss this with my principal just to cover myself.  Any thoughts.

Hmmm.... My instinct is just to leave it all alone. If your quote was exact, it does not mean "cause-effect." That is, the student could phone you and then have a sleep over with her friends, and the two may have nothing to do with each other....
