At our school the children move from class to class as if they were in HS! It is amazing to me how blessed I am and my children are at this school! Anyway, I teach History to the 1-2 graders this year three times a week. We are studying the Middle Ages and yesterday we learned about Monks and how they taught the Anglo-Saxons about Christianity. I happen to start the lesson off with a question.
Me: When I say Monk, who thinks they know what I am talking about?
Student: I know! They are men that only have hair on the sides and back of their head...and a lot of it, but they don't have any hair on the top of their heads!
I tried so hard not to chuckle! Let's be honest, when I think of monks, I think the same thing! Don't you? From the looks of this picture, I think my student is justified in his stereotype of monks!
