Last week, one of the kindergarteners came in for her lesson. She is a vivacious, bubbly little thing and always FULL of energy.
The room that I teach in is the middle school Social Studies room, so there are always a lot of posters and student work to look at on the walls.
About halfway through this little girl's lesson, she points up at a poster and says, "Is that you?" I took a long breath and then calmly replied, "Are you KIDDING me?"
The poster was of a refugee woman from World War II with this worn, sad look on her face and three tattered and torn children around her.
Russ kindly told me (after we both cried we laughed so hard) to not take it personally because five-year-olds have not had a lot of life experience yet and that limits their ability to discern things.
I hope he's right...or I need to consider some plastic surgery...
Hope you have a super day! And beware of the 5-year-olds...
