¿Así de fácil?

Sra. Riggs has always had lots of Spanish-related things in her room. As you know if you clicked the link, my second favorite is the fácil button. I hit it pretty much every time I enter or exit the room, as it makes the transitions between hallway, room and back much more interesting. Today, I went to hit it as always but realized it wasn't there. I looked around for a while...nothing. When I asked Sra. where it had gone, she told me someone had stolen it! Oh no!

A bit later I noticed this paper hanging on the whiteboard, which Sra. told me had been made by Mr. Stibitz:


I love this sign so much, mainly because it's so Mr. Stibitz. For you non-Spanish speakers, se busca means something along the lines of "looked for," but it's more than that. The fancy grammar word, I believe, is "incomplete passive construction," meaning basically that there's nothing explicitly doing the looking, it's just happening. No flashy font, no fancy photos, just what needs to be said. I automatically read this sign in his voice, by the way. If you haven't been, try it now.

And if you know where the fácil button is, please help it find its way home; room 105 misses it.
