Substitute Teaching Vignettes #6

Subbing…

While I was on recess duty, a 1st or 2nd grade girl came dancing (jeté) across the blacktop, stopped in front of me, and said, "Good morning, ma'am, how is your day going so far?"

I blinked and replied, "Quite well, thank you. How is yours?"

She said hers was also going well.

I commented on the dancing ("Are you a ballerina?"). She said she was not a ballerina, she just loved to dance. And away she went… jeté.
