This is what one of my students wrote on my board today. We were talking about what I say and what they hear/what it means to them. It shed some light on what goes on in kids heads, what I do say, and how sometimes, I have completely lost them. By the way, I never say Dumb, Dumb. We all had a good laugh, but it did make me think about how I do say things and how is sounds to them.
Last week, we had a great learning day or two. This week as well. It is that one incredible day every once in awhile, that makes teaching such a great job. Plus the students. They truly make it, every day.
Now, Meg. She is working hard to get fit and feel good. It will make a difference in her life. Go Girl! And Manuel, he loves school (UNM) the liberal thinking, great conversations, and his own space. I could be the luckiest mom in the world. What great young people.
Quote of the day. A mind is like a parachute, it works best when it is open! Heard it on NPR, don't you love it.
To all, Happy Fall, enjoy the weather, and have a great rest of the week.
You may not say "Dumb, dumb" But you do say "Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" And "Come on guys, you know this. We did this yesterday!"
