lol I can see it now (Teacher)" Tonight's homework assignment is..." (Students) what's your favorite attraction at Disneyland?" (Teacher) answers the question the bell rings. Kids leave homework free.😄 - goofball  450.1 #274 3:52PM

LOL my kids do the same and it totally gets me off topic and it's soooo hard to focus on the lesson on hand! Lol I so can relate! One teacher to another...I send you a big hug!! - MarshaMouse  2870.9 #15 3:54PM

lol thats to funny..what kind of questions did they ask? - Equestrian115  195.8 #1689 3:56PM

Oh, those teachable moments! I think it's great when students try to get me off topic with things they know I'm interested in. It shows they know me! I think it's a great idea for you to integrate your background knowledge about Disneyland, integrate it with the lesson objective(s), and help to develop or activiate your students' background knowledge. Our students are so intelligent! Thank you for sharing a teacher story! - teach67  79.2 #3290 4:06PM

It all started with, "I went on a trip" They asked if it was true, but I said I'm going on a trip in 50 days. They all knew I was going to Disneyland. The boys asked if it was just princesses there. I had to tell them about all the rides and other fun things. Then I tried to get back on topic. They continued to ask about characters I've met which of course led to looking at my Disney pictures. :) @uscdisneyteacher, I'll totally have to use more short i Disney words tomorrow and we'll see if they catch on :) - dhBelle04  275.5 #773 4:43PM
