Monday and Tuesday

The flu is going around and I realllly hope that my flu shot is going to do its job! I CANNOT get sick. I was walking through the halls today and I saw a kid getting walked to the nurse with a barf bag-- I would have probably puked if I had to walk that kid to the office. Poor little fella =(

Yesterday a little boy cried all morning long. He is a serious kid and is super sweet but he also doesn't play with kids his age a lot, or so it seems. After recess, I asked my students to make him feel better by being sure to play with him and sit with him at lunch. One of my student's raised his hand and said "Ms. Hobbs, he can sit and play with me today! I am super nice and love making new friends." Then he walked up to my sad student and said, "You look like you could use a hug, come here." and proceeded to hug the little boy. Sweetest thing ever, right?!! Gosh I love my kids- they all have such big hearts.

I was feeling really off of my game today. This morning we had rehearsal for the first grade performance and I felt like I was messing everything up which kind of put me in a weird mood. I thought the door my students are supposed to enter through was closed, but it turned out that it wasn't, and then my students lined up backwards, which took up even more time, then I couldn't get the timing of the Powerpoint to work. THEN I remembered that I forgot to send my students to the library to return their books and pick up a new one for reading. I just felt like I was messing everything up. Anyway, Letty came into the lounge today and gave me a hug. I don't think she even realized that I needed a hug, but it totally made me feel 10x better. Thank you, Letty!

I love that the third graders I am supposed to start long terming for in March run up to me everyday and say hi. I don't even think they are aware that I am going to be long terming for them, but I am so glad that they come say hi to me whenever they see me. It makes me feel like a rockstar.
