Closing the Teach For America Blogging Gap

Foot in Mouth

I called a student’s mom today at the number I’ve reached her at before, was answered by a feminine voice, and proceeded to address the person I was talking to as “Mrs. ___” for a good five minutes before the person stopped me to say, “This is actually Shatoya’s father.” I wanted to die.

On a less mortifying note, today was Twin Day, the first day of Spirit Week. A lot of the girls coordinated cutesy outfits with each other, and it was fun to see them so excited about it. But my absolute favorite was the fact that three of the boys from the bilingual class showed up in slacks, a dress shirt, and a tie so they could be twins with their homeroom teacher. It was adorable.
