I began student teaching yesterday and the first couple of days have been great. I LOVE the class of first graders I’m working with. They are a VERY smart bunch. I will be teaching my first lesson to them on Friday. I’m teaching about bones…the anatomy class I took last Spring should be helpful!
So here is my first funny kiddo story:
Teacher: “Boys and girls your spelling words for the week have the ‘dr’ sound at the beginning. Do you know what letters make the ‘dr’ sound?”
Kids: “D-R!!”
Teacher: “That’s right! And can you tell me some words that begin with D-R?”
Kids: “Drape, Drink, Drag, Dress, Drum…”
Funny Kiddo: “Drawe”
Teacher: “What? What is Drawe?”
Kiddo: “Ya know…drawe”
Kids: “Oh he means like draw the curtains shut.”
Funny Kiddo: “No no. Not like curtains. I mean DRAWE! (gestures down)”
So the teacher looks at me and is like what?! And I point to my hip and say drawers.
Teacher: “Ohhhhhh! Like underwear!”
Funny kiddo: “YEAH! Drawes!!!”
Teacher: “You’re saying drawers. Haha. Yes, that is a word for underwear or for drawers that we pull out of a dresser.”
