In November, I started student teaching at Northwestern School in Mellette. (Where Logan went to school) On my first day, I walked into the classroom thinking this would be like elementary classrooms in Watertown, and boy was I wrong. The teacher introduced me to the class saying I was going to be in the classroom for a few weeks student teaching. She suggested the class go around the room and have the students introduce themselves and say one thing that they like to do when they are not in school. We went around the room and the students did as they were told. Here are some of the responses I got:
Im ___ and I like to work on the farm with my dad.
Im ____ and I like to like to work on the farm and drive tractor.
Im ___ and I like to be out with the cows and help out on the farm.
Let me remind you that out of the 22 students in the class about 15 of them were wearing cowboy boots!
Going into the school thinking this was going to be like a classroom in Watertown was the wrong assumption! We city people wear "fashion" shoes and like to hang out with our friends!
Farm Girl Tip # 3: If you ever go into a small town school system, don't be surprised if many of the students are wearing cowboy boots and like to help their dad out on the farm!!
