A cat has nine lives and so does my student..

I have a very interesting collaboration of students. The one that I want to tell you about is on the extreme end of the spectrum. He moved to this town simply because this is where James Dean is from....need I say anymore.

Student: "What's your name again?"

Me: "Miss Felix"

Student pauses for a couple of minutes....

Student: "Miss Felix, you are beautiful."

I will admit I felt pretty good about myself for a couple of minutes...then his conversation continues with another student. This time not about my timeless beauty, but about his colored pencils. He was explaining to the other boy that some colored pencils blow up because they have bombs in them.

Me: "When did you see this happen?"

Student: "Oh, in my past life...."

Me: " What?"

Student: " Oh, you know reincarnation....I remember it"

Keep in mind this is a 4th grader (meaning 9-10 years old). He went on and on about reincarnation until I kindly interrupted and stated...

Me: "I want you to focus on your coloring in your present life"
