Well, it's almost 10 pm, and I'm actually HOME! PRAISE THE LORD! I LOVE WEDNESDAYS! By popular demand (Molly...) I'm posting briefly before I take a shower, blow dry my hair and go to bed. See, I have to straighten my hair tomorrow because it's Meet the Teacher Night! Yep, 3 weeks into school-- so it's kind of a Meet the Teacher and Established Classroom with Samples of Student Work Night. :-) Can't wait though!!!
Two funny stories for now:
1) Student 1: "Miss Koontz, I need to go take my medicine."
Me: "*little giggle* You don't take medicine...."
Student 2: "I take medicine!!!"
Me: "Yes, you do."
Student 2: "Yeah, I'm HD!... A?........... H?"
Me: "You mean ADHD?"
Student 2: "YEAH! THAT! I'M ADHD!!!"
Me: "*giggle* Yes, yes you are."
2) The past 2 weeks we have been studying world geography in Social Studies. We were talking about the continents this day. Students began to wonder about how the continents got to be where they are and what they are. This is one sweet little answer:
"No! He ['he' is never specified, just go with it-- my guess is that the student was talking about God] made the continents a couple seconds off. See, first he said, 'Let there be Europe!' Then he said, 'Let there be Asia!'" Me: "Do you mean, 'Let there be light?'" Student: "No... [seemingly un-phased by the question] Then he said 'Let there be Africa' and he just kept going and that's why the continents are a couple seconds off each other."
:-) Sorry for the brevity, but I hope you enjoyed just a little glimpse into my daily life.
