Busy Busy Week!

So sorry for not updating at all last week! By the time I got home every night I was pooped out and forgot to update this bad boy. Let me fill you in on the highlights...

I love my class, obviously. There is no question about that. I am becoming very attached to them and I know it is going to be realllly hard to give them back.

On Tuesday and Wednesday I taught my ELA common core lesson to students. The books that they had to make about wild cats were AMAZING! I was reading through them and they all did above and beyond what I had expected. I am so proud of them.

My students have a cultural performance on the 31st and I feel kind of bad because I still don't know all of the hand moves so I am always peeking over at the other teachers and following along with them. I am sure everything will run smoothly though.

There is a little girl in my class who loves to tell me stories. In the middle of a lesson she raised her hand and told me I'm invited to her tea party birthday party in a few months. Then she raised her hand in the middle of math and told me a story about her dad. I eventually had to tell her to tell me her stories during recess because she was getting me off track. I love hearing her stories though. Too cute.

I'm not sure if you have heard the "Gangnam Style" style song or watched the dance, but one of the little boys in my class does the dance every day! I don't even think he realizes that he is doing it, but it is seriously the cutest thing ever. I totally get that kids can't sit for all hours of the day so I let them stand behind their chairs if they are becoming restless. This boy was reading a story and he just started randomly doing the Gangnam Style dance. Lord it made me sad that I had to make him stop and read his book because it was hilarious.

I am getting nervous about having a job next year. I am praying something comes along. It is so stressful not knowing if I will still be subbing next year or if I will have my own classroom!

Still loving my time and thankful for this experience. I don't want it to end.

Pictures of the Week:

One of my students drew that for me and then requested that I take a picture of it so I don't forget about what it looks like. ;)

My friend Katie sent this to me in an email. She is so presh.
