Finally Friday!

I DO love being in 1st grade and I do love teaching! But man, has this week been exhausting and we have only been to school for two and a half days! Yikes! I really hope I get into the routine (and quickly) because this is wearing me out!

I absolutely adore all 21 of our little first graders! I had one student ask me to pull his tooth today! I told him just to keep trying to wiggle it and maybe it will wiggle right out! He tried and said it wasn't quite ready to come out just yet! (So cute!) It never ceases to amaze me of how these kids think and interact with each other. I am always learning something by watching them! I also LOVE watching my cooperating teacher and how she interacts with our students. It is so amazing! I am learning so much from her, especially patience's!

Today was a great day! We had "Watermelon Day" today! The kids got to do all kinds of activities with a watermelon and even got to eat some! I, unfortunately, didn't get a piece because I had a meeting in the afternoon when that took place but I know the kids enjoyed it! They were looking forward to it ALL day! :)  Today, I even got to read two books to them about watermelons! It was a fantastic day!

This entry is going to be short and sweet because it's past 10:30 and I am exhausted! I'm adding some pictures! I hope you enjoy!

Thanks,
B
