Ms. Murph's Phobias
This phobia is contradictory for me because I love nature (think of the tv show “Fear Factor”).
What is Entomophobia/Insectophobia (fear of insects) and/or Arachnophobia (fear of spiders and arachnids)?
This is one of my “Go-To” Monitors for our class.
Who is Qasim or Antonio?
DAILY DOUBLE!!! (Make your wager first, then listen to the host for the statement. You have 60 seconds!).
What is acrophobia (fear of heights)?
This is one of the students whom I only call by their nickname.
Who is Honestigrace (Grace), Temiloluwa (Temi), Alexander (Alex), or Michael (Mike)?
When I was a child, I had this irrational fear because my family used to be superstitious (think of an unlucky number).
What is triskaidekaphobia (fear or avoidance of the number 13) and/or paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th)?
DAILY DOUBLE!!! (Make your wager first, then listen to the host for the statement. You have 60 seconds!).
Who is Damyah or Ahmir?
Although I love all types of animals, I still have this fear.
What is zoophobia (fear of animals/ a specific animal)?
Just hearing one of these students speak and describe a situation makes me want to laugh. 🤭
Who is Jose or Wausime?
This is my deepest fear of them all (think of the film “Open Water”).

This is one of the students whom I would want to do my eulogy (wayyyyy in the future 😅).
