So today I learned two lessons from my student that I will remember for the rest of my life. The first one happened while we were working on his problem with reversing letters. He specifically struggles with reversing the b's and d's so I was helping him come up with ways to remember the way that they go. He turned to me and said, "hey for the b I can just think of my teacher because she is pregnant!" I was very confused at this point and he continued to explain, "When she looks sideways, she looks like a b!" I wasn't about to tell him that if she turned the other way, she could look like a d too. I just had to chuckle to myself.
Then later in the lesson we heard a noise outside and he asked what it was. I told him that it was someone cutting the grass with a lawn mower outside. With great concern he turned to me and asked, "Doesn't that hurt the grass? Plants are living things too you know?"
It is amazing how quickly children can humble you!
