Junior High Nicknames

While working with junior high students it was only a matter of time before I endured the fate of receiving my very own "junior high nicknames." And there have already been a lot. The truth is that I love them though. It's fun to hear the creative things that students can do to your name. Here's the comprehensive list so far.

Ms. Fu - lonn (like "flan" with an extra syllable.)


Ms. Falcon


which of course led to

Ms. Falcon Punch

Coach
This one was born because I had a class that discovered my first name and would not stop calling me "Bethany." I let them choose a nickname for me and this was the one that they decided on. This secretly is my favorite because it makes me feel athletic even though I'm not, I never will be, and I'm sure the kids don't think that I am at all.

After I traded the last name of "Carr" I thought that there was no way that the kids would be able to come up with as creative nicknames as they had for me last year (Ms. Motorcycle, Ms. BMW, Ms. Vroom Vroom, . . .) but they're well on their way. I'm excited to see what else they come up with.

I don't know why, but sometimes I just love junior high.
