I recently started working with a new first grade girl (Ms. Confused) who is DETERMINED that I am Alice.
As in Alice from Alice in Wonderland.
Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Queen of Hearts, and all.
I have NO CLUE where she got this idea but it has carried over from one week to the next and I’ve got to admit, it’s pretty adorable.
–Week One–
Do you remember my name?
Ms. Confused: No….
I’m Miss Alex.
Ms. Confused: Like in Wonderland?!
For the record, my given/birth name is NOT Alice. She made that phonological leap on her own. But I couldn’t help but think she was right. Some days that’s exactly what life (in education) feels like…
