Today was much better than yesterday (thanks for the prayer, Letty)! I really enjoyed myself. The students had an assembly which was fun, they had centers and got to do a bunch of different activities, and we were able to watch The Magic School Bus (what kind of person doesn't like The Magic School Bus?!)
During the assembly a little boy with special needs sat next to me. He kept standing up and wanted to leave the assembly. When I finally calmed him down, he put his hand in mine and put his head on my shoulder. I loved that moment of my day... I felt like I mattered to that little boy. Sometimes I think we focus on what is wrong with special needs students too much instead of focusing on what is amazing about them. The little boy has special needs, but he also has some wonderful qualities about him. Today taught me to focus on the good qualities in every child.
Quote of the day:
Boy: Wow, you look beautiful today, Ms. H!
Girl: Yeah, you look just like my barbie but you're life sized!
