The great thing about being a teacher is that every years is a new beginning. New students, sometimes new subjects, new challenges, well you get the picture. I love being able restart every year! This year in particular I am excited about trying some new things in my classroom and try to grow as a teacher. I am sure some of my new ideas will fall flat and there will be days I can't wait to for my students to exit my classroom- but generally I am very encourage by how this year has started!
That being said I wanted to share some of the high lights from my classroom:
1. The other one of my sophomore students came to my desk and said "Ms. Anderson, what is a country?"
My response: "Ah, I am not sure I understand the question."
Student "Well, what do you mean by country? Like what is a country?"
Me: "Well, the US is a country, Canada is a country. Is that what you mean?"
Student: "Yeah I guess so. So then is Alabama isn't a country?"
Me: "No, Alabama is not a country."
Now mind you I wasn't sarcastic , I was doing my best to be patient as I honestly was a bit confused by the question. It did help me see that I may have to a bit slower....
2. My senior Law class...today I asked my students to come up with a new law. So they were brain storming and one asked me quite plainly, "Ms. Anderson, is it legal to kill a prostitute?" My reply: "It is note legal to kill ANYONE!"
Well at least they are not afraid to ask questions! Here's to week 3.....
