"It's a piece of paper!"

When my students entered my classroom today, they found a half-sheet of lined paper on their desks. Here's how the conversation went:

Them: What's this?

Me: It's a piece of paper!

Them: What's it for?

Me: For the Do Now.

Them: (moaning and groaning) We have to write on paper! Why?

I guess I've been "spoiling" them. We've been using the iPad cart a lot lately (but not today). I didn't realize how much they liked using the iPads for all their classwork until today. I only wish I had 1:1 iPads for my classroom...
