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!

Check The Sewers!

Student: Ms. S, did you know that they sell rats at the pet store?
Me: Ew.
Student: Yeah. My brother was about to buy one.
Me: Seriously??
Student: Yeah. I was like, dude, don't BUY that--it's a rat!
Me: Good thinking.
Student: Yeah. I told him--you want a rat--go check the sewers.
