What's In A Name?

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose 

by any other name would smell as sweet"

 -Juliet, Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet

Does one's name really matter? The kids in my class cannot seem to get my name right, despite the fact that I knew all of their names on the first day. Four and five years olds have an adorable knack for forgetting and messing up all sorts of words but I really thought Miss Bishop was pretty easy. In just my first week, I have been called: 

Miss Fish

Miss Brooke

Miss Bush

and my very favorite, simply "teacher". 

I love to hear what they come up with. I guess one day they'll get it but there are much more important things for them to learn than my name...or at least that's what I'll keep telling myself.
