While in our small guided reading group one day last week, I asked the question "Who knows what a simile is?" to which one student promptly replied "One of those things we have at the end of every quarter in the cafeteria and sometimes special occasions." Clearly they thought I said "assembly".
Friday one particular student was having a hard time focusing and getting any work accomplished- to "light a fire under him" I pulled up my chair along side his desk to let him know I wasn't going anywhere- his response "Man, if you were holding somebody hostage- you'd really kill 'em". Well as a matter of fact... ;)
This is school spirit week- today was "Sweat it out for reading"... hence we all wore sweat suits. I don't have a sweat suit- but I did wear my Lee University sweat suite- first student comment of the day "Ms Dancy! What's wrong with you? Are you going home?" Guess they thought I was sick and just writing lesson plans and leaving? and... if I heard it once- I heard it 10 times ... "Ms Dancy- is your middle name Lee?"
Ms Dancy- are you married?!? I don't know why not!
Our weekly selection in our Reading book was about Blues Singer Mahalia Jackson... question of the week "Is she related to Michael Jackson?"
I decided to throw hot rollers in my hair this morning as part of my getting ready routine... to say that students don't pay attention to their teacher's attire/appearance would be a story--- "Ms Dancy! You look beast!" haha
