My Students Surprise me Everyday!!!

For my fist blog post I thought I would share with you an experience I had with my students on Friday.  I opened my door to let my class go, and the next one in.  As I open the door my first thought, "Why are there so many kids by my door?". Second thought, "Is someone going to fight? Oh no I got to get out there". As I exit my room trying to figure out whats going on, one of my students standing in front of me says, Ms. Polzella I need to ask you a really important question.  With a confused look on my face, he gets down on one knee and reads a speech that he prepared.  I can't remember exactly what he said, but he asked if I would be the other half to his whole. And he even had a ring made out the those colored elastic bands.  I was flattered but I had to say no!  I gave him mad props for adding in that math joke, 'the other half to his whole'.  At least I know he knows his fractions! This student did it as a joke, but never in a million years, did I think this would happen in the 7th grade.  I mean when I worked with preschools this would happen every other day. It was cute! My students surprise me everyday of the week.  Just another day in the classroom.
