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!

Kidnapped (again)

Sometimes I'm privy to some really great conversations. Here's one from today:

Student 1: What if you got kidnapped by someone, but your new life was better than your old one?
Student 2: Like you had a zillion video games and a big screen TV?
Student 1: Yeah--I would invite friends over.
Student 2: And then I would ask them to sign me into their will.
