As a teacher, I am constantly reminded of my humanness and the preciousness of life by the kids that I teach. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, and the most necessary at this point in my life.
This week I was touched by...
-Kendall, while watching a film on Shakespeare, sneezed and farted at the same time. It was so loud it surprised him. He was so proud of the feat, he applauded himself.
- Cari, Sorcha and Mekiah (muh-kye-yuh) hump-dancing a statue of James Buchanan in Meridian Hill Park during recess.
- Jeremiah grossing out his lunch table with tales of eating poop and pee pee.
- Mekenzie and Keenan fighting for my attention, prefacing every attempt with, "look what I can do!"
- A group of 5th graders desperately looking under their table for a wire tap, because I said I recorded their conversations.
- Kahri (KA-ree), a 1st grader, fell asleep in class. After I woke him up, he began to weep softly and said, "Miss Tasha, I just want to sleep. You know?"
