The title of my blog is how my students summon me. Now, I am a casual person, but I do have a name. So now that my students are becoming more comfortable with me, we are working on proper ettiquette! My name is Mrs. Clayton or Ms. C--since both teacher in my room have last names beginning with C, that is a good way to get one of us to respond.
But it also means that more and more students are asking me for help, and I am taking a more active role in teaching the class, so I am relishing the "MISS"!!! requests.
A reason why I have been hearing "MISS" so much is that we have had a lot of technological issues this week with our classroom computers. Yeterday, they started "hiding" files that we were working in, causing the students to have to open them again and again (and again, and so on) to perform all of the necessary functions we were learning in the lesson. Some of my less than patient students were very frustrated. I was beginning to loose patience myself, especially after I sat down to work through a few lesson and had to repopen the document 22 times (I kept count). yesterday afternnon, nice Ms. Cuellar stayed late to try and fix the problem. We thought we had it fixed! Then the first class that tried it today continued to have problems. Technology is a wonderful thing, but when it doesn't work, it is a TERRIBLE thing.
Maybe tomorrow will be better... :)
