The Name Game

Aniapple My favorite part of this job is the students and the funny things that they say and do.  I love working with our youngest students because you never know what they may say or how what you say gets flipped/twisted in their minds.  My last name is a funny one:  Appleyard.  Kindergarten and First Grade students can remember the "Apple" part, but they forget or change the "yard."  I am going to collect the variations on my last name....they make me laugh...and my family finds them amusing, too!

To date, I have been called:

Ms. Apple
Ms. Appleguard
Ms. Applefield
Ms. Applecorn
Ms. Applegarden
Ms. Applebee
Ms. Applewood
Ms. Apple.......I forgot

And my favorite:  Ms. Appledipper!
