Wanna hear a joke?
What did the zero say to the eight?
“I like your belt!”
{Get it? Draw it out if you have to. Now you get it? Awesome right?}
Hahaha it kills me. My students didn’t find it very
hilarious. And I also got it off of Ellen the other night so some of them had
already heard it. Namely two male students. Wha? They blame it on their moms
but I know the truth.
And student teaching has been fabulous. Every single one of
my fears has completely dissipated. My coordinating teacher, Mr. N., is
fantastic. He is very concerned about our educational experience and makes sure
we get to teach often. {If you noticed I keep saying “we” it’s because I have a wonderful student
teaching partner, Jenepher.} Mr. N. is also so excited about math and teaching
that his students are excited to be there too. It has made it so easy for us to
step in. How many behavioral issues have I had to deal with? Zero. Nice belt.
It may not be the best thing for my overall educational experience but at the
end of the day, it makes it not so scary to get up in front of them when I know
they’ll be respectful.
Also, my humor has dropped to an 8th grade level.
The other day the teacher said something about soup and a student said
something about monkeys and then another student said, “Do you like your monkey
soup with the bones and tail or do you prefer it without?” Wha? Hilarious. I
lost it. And beyond losing it, every time I think about it, I laugh.
I’ve been so blessed to be having the experience I am but I’m
also looking forward to GRADUATION. What what!! And then I’m just going to bake
and sew all day long forever, right Ty? 87 days til I’m done with this biz.
Woo!
