In a weird turn of events, I was asked to teach one section of third grade in addition to my middle school classes (apparently the teacher left after the first week). I took the class somewhat reluctantly, and was pleasantly surprised that after a week, I kind of enjoyed it. There is something about the energy and disposition of young people that is fun to be around. They really crack me up. One interesting thing is that they all have "English" names. Very few of their names however are actually used in the English speaking world. Some are total nonsense like Yoyo and Handsome. Many are stripper names like Kitty and Vivian. And occasionally they hit the jackpot with the highly coveted "Brian".
