I would like to start off by saying I missed the students a lot. I was so excited to go back on Thursday morning, especially, to see those students who I have been working very closely with.

It was so comforting and lovely to see the students greet me with such excitement and compassion. It was such a warm feeling. Even though I was in the class for two week I realized I get to learn something new about the students every time.

Just before lunch an announcement was made for all the Aboriginal students to attend a lunch that had been arranged. My first instinct “There is no one from our class.” Was I ever wrong. Two of the students got up to go attend the lunch. I was caught by surprise. I did not know I had two Aboriginal students in my class. I thought this would be a great way to connect with these two students. So during a independent activity I approached one of the students. I had asked her how her lunch was. I then started asking her questions about what she knew about her background and culture. She did  not know much. I then asked her about her family. That was not a good idea. She told be about her family dynamic. It was very complex. I felt guilty. I did not think such a simple question would strike up a complicated conversation. The emotions on the students face were devastating.

Thinking back to that moment. I am hesitant to ask an question surrounding family dynamic. I was unable to forget the students reaction all day.
