My roommate, Heidi, is in the MTR program with me. She's in the elementary cohort. She's perfect for elementary, and the elementary students are perfect for her. I love hearing her stories when she gets home from teaching 6 yr olds. They're just so different from my stories. At my school, the big news of the day is the fight that happened right before fifth period and the girl who's missing half her hair-do because half her weave is on the ground in the parking lot. In Heidi's school, the big news of the day is whose guppy died and had to be flushed into the great blue yonder. The stories she brings home are hilarious in their innocence and always make me smile.
Some of the recent issues :
"Miss MacDonald, my undershorts is stuck in my butt."
"What?"
"I SAID, my UNDERSHORTS is stuck in my posterius!"
During a lesson about the weather, Ms. MacDonald spent some time explaining fog. She said it was a cloud that comes down to earth, it looks like smoke, it's because the air has moisture in it, fog makes it hard to see, etc etc. After giving an earnest and energetic explanation, she got some feedback from the students. Some raised their hands and eagerly explained that they had seen fog before. One little boy waved his hand wildly. "Miss MacDonald, I saw a frog by MY house, it was just hoppin along, and then got run over by a car and I saw it's guts!" Frog and fog DO sound a lot alike...
