Teaching and Learning: Reflections from Ms. S

Whether it was my misconceptions of kids, teaching, me, or all three, I'm not sure, but a Teacher was the last thing I thought I'd be. I knew I wanted to be more involved in my community, but was unable to find a job. Desperate, I decided to work as a Substitute, but then my eyes saw: BILINGUAL SPECIALIST; Love kids and their culture, help with English. Not only has teaching been a blast as I have been able to share life with 40 K-8th graders, but I am a better person because of THEM!

Princess For A Day

During the last few minutes of class today I let the students occupy themselves--games, crafts, additional homework, whatever. It's Friday--we all need a break :)

One student decided she's really into making crowns. So she made a few and then made me one. She came over and put it on my head.

Student: Ms. S--I made you a crown.
Me: Oh yeah?
Student: Yeah.
Me: Well thank you.
Student: You're welcome. But remember, you are the Princess. I am the Queen.
