Bad hair day?

As the ESL teacher, I have a few different roles on campus. One is to be an inclusion teacher in some of the different classes so I can monitor my ESL students. I go into their math class, for example, & make sure they are using their resources to break down language barriers or to encourage them to raise their hand & participate in their other classes.

Needless to say, I have the privilege of getting to know all the students at Kealing (not just my own). :)

Yesterday I walked into Ms. Lee's math class, just like I do everyday, & I hadn't been in there for 10 seconds before a student sitting behind me whispered, "Ms. S?" I didn't turn around immediately because the teacher was giving instruction. The student whispered again, this time sounding concerned, "Ms. S?"

I turned around to a worried look on the child's face, and he asked, "You havin' a bad hair day or somethin'?"

"Nope, just threw it up on my head in the hallway on the way here, but thanks."

I can't blame him. He was genuinely concerned (or was he?) & it made me laugh. The good news is, his shock proves that I don't wear my hair like this to work very often.
