High-Heeled Traitor

I realize that it has been a while since I have posted and I will do my best to give you an update about what has happened recently.

Student teaching has kept me incredibly busy.  I am now officially in charge of the following subjects:

• Handwriting 3 and 4
• Spelling 4
• English 4
• Math 4
• Science 3 and 4
• Reading 3 and 4
• History 3 and 4

For those of you who didn’t count, that is 11 subjects!  Last week SFC had our Stanford Achievement Tests.  I was completely in charge of 3rd grades tests which was kind of fun.  Instead of boring you with  useless info on my life I will tell you a story.

I always, always, always were flats to work.  If you think about it, it makes sense to wear flats because I am constantly walking around the room.  Wearing heels is just impractical.  Well on Tuesday I decided to break with tradition and wear heels.  Oh, and not just any heels!  I wore my brown heels (the nice tall ones).  I really didn’t think any of my students would notice… boy was I wrong!

At 8am I entered the gym to pick up my classes and the girls immediately noticed my change of footwear.  The boys were completely clueless as to what the girls were oo-ing and aw-ing. For the sake of those poor boys I pointed out my shoes… they weren’t too impressed (go figure).

Like I stated before, I was in charge of 3rd grades SATs.  We happened to be taking the tests in separate classroom from 4th grade.  In between two of the tests I took the 3rd grade outside for snack/free-time.  The class was enjoying running around, when one of the 4th graders walked past on his way to the restroom.  Well, apparently he wasn’t too thrilled that 3rd grade got to be outside while he was stuck inside during his free time.  He decided to get his revenge on my by calling me a “high-heeled traitor.”  :)
