Welcome

I'm going to relate the lessons I've learned from my students in my health classroom through stories I have from our class discussions, assignments, and interactions. Feel free to share some of your own "lessons learned" through the lessons you've taught your students. If you're not in education, perhaps you can relate lessons you have learned from children at some point in your life. Look forward to sharing stories!

Butter Fingers--The Skippy Thief

This week during our nutrition unit I like to bring in visuals of food and we discuss different label information to get some hands on experience. I had two jars of peanut butter to compare the trans fat in the two. My other health colleagues use my materials regularly and I knew Mark was going to borrow the jars for his class. Later in the day, he tells me that the Skippy jar of peanut butter was stolen! I had gotten the jar full of peanut butter from Mim (another teacher in my dept) because her husband accidentally bought crunchy and she didn't like it. So I took it and kept it at school to use. I never ate any out of it and it was almost a full jar.

Mark told me that he thought he knew who took it (some literally crazy kid he has). He caught the culprit and the kid admitted to it. He wrote a letter of apology to me that included quotes such as, " I'm sorry I took your penut butter. (yes his spelling) It just looked so good I couldn't resist! ummm..."

The assistant principle spoke to him and I am still waiting for him to render payment for the jar of peanut butter. Lesson learned--DON'T BRING IN REAL DEMOS FOR FOOD MODELS
