The kids had an assembly in the morning and it was a deja vu moment for me. I only recognized a few teachers that taught at the school when I was there. I think my sister had a couple of the teachers I noticed, which felt slightly awkward but totally cool at the same time. When I was in 6th grade I never thought that I would be working with the teachers that taught my sister and I. They still have the same mascot uniform that they had when I was in school there. It made me laugh thinking about it. There is a picture of my sisters and I on my fridge. My sister, Marissa, is in the mascot uniform. Today the second graders sang about Martin Luther King. In the sixth grade, we performed for the Martin Luther King assembly, and my best friend at the time, Kaitlin, and I said part of his "I Have a Dream" speech.
Ashley, Marissa, and me from 2002:
Anyway, today the first graders were very cute!
During the assembly I had to call the names of the first graders in class receiving awards. When I walked back to sit with the rest of the class, one of the little boys was crying. I asked what was wrong and he said that he never gets awards. My little heart melted. I felt so sad for him. Hopefully next time he receives something.
Another little girl started crying during the math test. I tried helping her with the material and used my hands to help her count numbers, but she kept on crying. Poor thing. No six year old should become so upset over their schoolwork that they start to cry.
We had a little extra time so I read Green Eggs and Ham. I think the kids knew all the words without having to have me read it, but I love reading children's stories. Kids get so excited.
During reading buddies, I took the students to a fifth grade class. The teacher we went to was a teacher that taught sixth grade when I went to school. She is good friends with my sixth grade teacher, which is always nice to hear. I love connections teachers make with each other. I feel like this is a good business to make friends in.
