The Teacher From The Black Lagoon was a really funny tale I remember reading in elementary school! My teacher had read it to us on the first day of school because we all expect the worst on first days. The boy in this story finds out he is assigned to Mrs. Green who he believes is monstrous and mean. He falls asleep and dreams that she is a monster with a tail and smoke coming out of her nostrils. She is very mean to all her students! When he wakes up he is so excited to see the real Mrs. Green that he gives her a hug.
I wanted to share this book because I think it is a great read to share with our own students on their first day. You never know what your own students might be thinking! It teaches students to not believe all rumors and judge people before you get to know them.
I love this series of books because it is pure imagination in the Black Lagoon books. We will have a lot of students who thing that we are monsters. So all we can do is reassure them that other kids have felt that way and this book is a prime example of that.
