This past Friday, my 8th grade students had the pleasure of meeting a ?friend? of mine: Mr. Patrick Gray! He did a short presentation about using business plans in the real world, as they are working on their own business plans as part of the unit we are currently working on. I think that the students were excited to see a new face, hear a new voice, and learn a thing or two from someone who has more experience in this area than any of the teachers do.
Since I didn?t exactly tell the kids who Pat actually was, it was pretty funny when one girl made a few joking comments to me. ?Miss,? she said, ?I?m going to tell your fianc?e that you got all dressed up for the business man and that you are going to run away with him!? Little did they know? I think that eventually I?ll tell them that my fianc?e and the business man are the same person.
It was great to have a chance to show Pat all the people and parts of the school that I talk about so much. Most of all, I think he got a chance to ?see me in action? and appreciate my alternate persona: Ms. Estrada. Maybe someday I?ll enjoy a little SAP along side my darling fianc?e!
