I teach about 200-250 different students a week, so it's hard to remember all their names. I recently saw a small group of former students from 2 years ago & remembered all their names.

I have a grade-5 student who is the craziest, most uninhibited class clown I've ever seen in my life. Fortunately, he's more tolerable now than he once was, & I only have 1 more year with him before he graduates on to another school.

Well, last night, I met his younger brother who will be starting grade 1 in the fall. Guess who gets to spend 6 more years teaching his clone. 😐

Teaching vowels. Hey, at least it makes my students laugh. And it's easier to teach if they're in a happy mood. 😁

STUDENT: Teacher, I'm dumb!
ME: Say "done".
STUDENT: Okay. Teacher, I'm done!

Taiwanese boys howl with laughter when I say "beginning". All they hear is "比基尼", the Chinese word for "bikini".

My little 2nd-grade student gave me something that I thought was candy. Turns out it was dried fish which was dyed pink. She seemed to think it was delicious. I did not share her opinion. 😖
