I ...Umm, excuse me, but I recently taught Pricess. I have Phantasia in the room next door. And so many other names it's absurd. Nicknames would seem "normal" compared to some of ours. Oh, a girl named Charlie. And of course, she was kind of a hottie in middle school, so I can only imagine what she did to taunt those boys in high school. A girl named Charlie has to be hot or it's just a waste.<br /><br />I did recently have something strange happen. I, like you, am VERY careful with names, and don't use a shortened version unless the kids tell me to. And I dont' very often mix up names. However, recently I:<br /><br />called a boy by his sister's name and didn't consciously know they were related<br /><br />can't stop calling a boy whose last name is Bill... Bill as a first name<br /><br />heard a boy say his name was kind of like Dan because it's BrenDAN and now I can only think his name is Dan<br /><br />Sometimes I will hear kids call each other things and know that teachers aren't "allowed" to call them that. But when I do use the term, usually in jest, it sends them into HOWLS. <br /><br />I always wanted a nickname but never really had one. So sad.JoAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548653968066971599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677432756675439674.post-75266439410941673452011-01-25T12:06:40.692-08:002011-01-25T12:06:40.692-08:00We use all kinds of nicknames in my class...

We have:<br /><br />Precious (boy)<br />Sweetie (boy)<br />Texas Ranger <br />Door Girl<br />Chicken Girl<br />Ricky Recarlos<br />Drummer Boy... and a whole bunch more. Most of the kids start calling each other by the nicknames we give them, but sometimes they'll come up with their own!MrsKPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366032209614542664noreply@blogger.com
