Maybe September is my favourite month
School is back to full swing. As of tomorrow, we will have been through the full two-week timetable with all the year groups. Two of my classes are just straight-forward knowledge seekers, which is fabulous. The other three are able but very hard work…like Bart Simpson’s attitude with Lisa Simpson’s intellect. And let me tell you, thirty Bart Simpsons in one room is a little bit knackering.
But I love this. I’m big on the And what have you learned today? (like that wasn’t already obvious) so the other day instead of asking, I handed out post-it notes. They all wrote something and posted it on the door as they left. All but one post-it was academic I learned to say “I did” and not “I done”. I learned about exposition and resolution for story writing. and the non-academic one has caused more than a few laughs from people stopping by my classroom I learned not to feed the dog next door at break time. Well, he asked why the dog was barking. So I had to explain, didn’t I?
Can you imagine how horrible it would be to be my child? I can imagine them rehearsing their answers before walking up to the front door. If I haven’t learned anything today, I bet Mum will kick me out of the house! Well…whatever makes you learn.
