Festivities

Today I decided to throw the schedule out the window and decorate the classroom instead. All the kids made at least one ornament and I hung them from clothespins on the fishline in the classroom. They look so cute! The room was a huge disaster, but all the first graders helped to clean it up and even though it took an hour longer than I thought it would, we turned on the Christmas music and they had a blast. They are PUMPED for the holidays...and I am, too!

Neel, out of control as usual! I'm quite confident there has never been more gold glitter in one concentrated area.

President

Miss Post: CJ, who is that president on your library book?

CJ: Hameraham Lincoln.

Here and Now

On Thursday, we had the holiday concert. I got upset and told my friend, another teacher, how much I want my own kids. She was confused; I have 27.

On Friday, I told my kids how much I love them. I started to cry and they thought it was funny, in a good way. I think that I will never have another class as wonderful as this one.
