A Funny Thing Happened -How They See Us
You don't know what students really think of you unless you ask - but only ask if you really want to know!
Sofie Berlin still remembers this lesson from when she taught at Sadler Elementary:
"I was teaching 3rd grade an introductory lesson on character traits. After I taught them what it means and the difference between physical traits and behavioral traits, I made a T-chart on the board describing the two types.
"First, I had my class describe me physically and wrote down their descriptions of me. I was so flattered when they described my physical appearance in such nice ways!
"Then we got to my personality traits. It looked like this:
Ms. Berlin:
1. Likes to eat
2. Yells a lot
"I ended the lesson and jumped into the collaborative structure. I think they got it." 😂
