Well there are 10 1/2 weeks left of school! I must say the year has gone by fast! I never feel like I can catch up on paperwork alone. I now have 28 students in my class. That is 28 of every assignment to grade, 28 parents to contact and conference with, 28 tests to give, and 28 children to teach at once! They keep me on my toes!!! Needless to say between 28 kids and working over 50 hours a week I want to do nothing more than sleep all weekend! I have had some students say some interesting things lately including:
me "Make sure you're reading at home, I want to win the cupcake party!"
student x "Miss Goucher you can't eat cupcakes you're on a diet"
me "oh thats news to me"
student x "Miss Goucher you might be really young but you're still a great teacher"
thinking to myself----I didn't know you had to be old to be a good teacher?
student x "Miss Goucher is your hair wet?"
me "No"
student "Well it looks wet, what did you do to it?"
me "I put gel in it"
student "ohhh thats what that does"
still commenting on my hair.....
student x "What's wrong with your hair Miss Goucher"
Thanks student x for boosting my self confidence today! haha
I still think my favorite comment to date was a student's answer on a paper. The student was writing a reaction to a black and white photo taken during the civil war. It went something like this:
Describe the photo:
"It is really old, they didn't even have TVs"
I am looking forward to April break....a trip to Maine and Kristin is coming to visit me for Easter weekend! It should be a good week off from work.
