Eating Orange Peels
I have really appreciated the memories and great moments this field experience has provided me. Every single day I have found myself laughing and smiling with my students. I'd like to share one of my favorite moments. There is a student in my class who has quite the appetite and an appreciation for everything the school lunch has to offer. During one of the lunches I noticed that this student was eating an orange, peel and all. It was eaten in the style that one might eat an apple, and it didn't seem to faze the student in the slightest. The next day at lunch I noticed that this same student had apple slices, but would only eat the actual apple fruit and spit out the apple skin. To each their own, but I couldn't get over how funny I thought this students dietary habits were. If teaching will allow me to keep having these great experiences and moments of humor, I can't wait to start my career!

Oh my gosh! That is so funny! That student will have an extra dose of fiber I guess... My students are pretty funny with their eating habits as well. They will do the same thing with the apple skins. But most of the time, these students eat SO SLOW. It drives our teacher insane but it is what it is! We can't make them shovel their food down and choke or something because that would be bad!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I have also had so many funny experiences with my kids I cannot wait to share them with the class when we are back on Monday!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this because I had a student in my class that wouldn't eat the apple skin either. My students got breakfast in the classroom every morning it was enjoyable too see what everyone chose to eat and how they went about eating certain foods.
