A student is coloring a picture and is doing his best to stay in the lines. I look at him and say, "You are doing a great job. "
The student, without looking up from his work, says, "Yeah... so are you."
I took a job two months ago as a full-time paraprofessional at an elementary school. It is the most adult job I have ever had. Someday it may even force me to think of myself as an adult.
Sometimes when I'm helping students during their class time with another teacher, I have very little to do. I recently bought the first two seasons of "Scrubs." These two circumstances have combined to produce a game I like to call "Find the Miniature Versions of the Cast of Scrubs."
So far, I've found Mini-Elliot and Mini-Turk. I'm having a little trouble finding Mini-J.D. Elementary school students just don't use enough hair product to look like J.D. If only I worked at a middle school.
Next week: Seinfeld.
