Jeffrey The Water Moccasin A character created by the 6th grade class of 2020-2021. Mrs. J leaned back in her son’s old gaming chair. She said that she had a back problem and the gaming chair was the only thing that worked for her. We were in a pandemic of the devastating virus of Covid-19. About half of the kids in Mrs. J’s class were back in the classroom with masks, half were at home on a computer. “You know what? I don’t really want to say “Folks at home”, or “Distance Learning People”. How about we come up with a name for In-person and distance learning?" There was a rapid response from the kids online. “How about Spongebob?” One kid said. “No.” Mrs. J replied. “How about ‘Huzza, huzza’?" Huzza, huzza was a phrase from the book we had just read, Walk Two Moons. The kids groaned. “No.” Mrs. J sighed. “How about the water moccasins?” One kid asked. Another said “The jeffreys?” “How about Jeffrey the water moccasin?” The class thought it was a good idea. However, Mrs. J said “You know I won’t remember that. How about we shorten it to just “The jeffreys.” Everyone seemed fine with that, so from then on, that was how the kids online were addressed. Mrs. J laughed and went on about how “We were so resilient”; and “You’re a generation will have a lasting impact and legacy.”
The next day, as we came in for social studies, Mrs. J and the class thought it would be cool if they had a wikipedia page about “Jeffrey The Water Moccasin”. So here I am, making a wikipedia page about the character.
