Telling Stories & Otras Cosas
Well, during class and in our readings we (me & the students) come upon many interesting topics. So sometimes something from my past comes to me related to the topic and I tell a funny little story. I think this is a good idea. I believe it lets the kids get to know me and allows for some fun. The only drawback is is that all the students then want to tell a story about a time when….. fill in the blank it can be about anything. So this is not really a problem because I let a couple people tell a short story and then get the students back on track. I just think it’s funny.
Also this week I had a parent come in whose child is not turning in work. The kid is always in class and always a pleasure. So his mom came in to see what was going on. We got everything figured out but she said something interesting. She said that while walking around the school she realized how much help kids have with organization and homework at this school. It’s true all the classes have agendas on the board that tell the students what we are going to do that day. The woman said that in her time no one reminded you to do your homework. I thought it was funny because I think we do remind the students a lot about everything. So it’s nice to hear that parents see it that way because it seems like students still forget no matter what. You start to think am I being clear enough? Anyway, it was interesting.
That’s all the news I have for today. Hope everyone is well.
