What can be worse as a teacher than waking up with a migraine and still having to go to work? Coming to work and having the principal observe your classroom and stay one whole hour, writing nonstop notes on everything you say, on what you have on the board and what you have on your daily agenda. Of Course he would come today!!! I have been ready with great lessons and group activities for the past two weeks and he walks in today when we are doing reading as a class and team work (not bad by the way) and I have a migraine.....he would do that!!! But of course I have great students (that although on a day like this they seem more annoying than usual) that cheer me up without even knowing. "Ms. Torres, what has four eyes and cannot see?" student asks " I actually have no idea. what is it?" I say "Mississippi of course!" she says "Ms. Torres I am finally getting a haircut on friday!" boy says "Oh good, we will get to see your face. Wait, i have to wait until Monday to see it? Not sure if I can contain my excitement until then!!!" I respond "Aww, Ms. Torres, now I feel guilty for getting a haircut" he says "Why guilty?" "Because every one will laugh at me when I come to school on Monday!" he responds "I don't think everyONE will laugh. I will laugh and comment on how handsome you will look!" I say "I knew it! You will comment!" he replies.
