My first week of school was amazing, awesome, incredible and all the other adjectives! The kids are great! My host teacher is grateful! My days fly by! I AM HOME! After our first date, Eric went to his night job and told everyone he worked with that he had met his wife. He just knew we were meant to be together. It just took him 4 weeks to convince me! I now know how that feels. I am where I was always meant to be!
There are 24 students in this fifth grade class. They are a needy class with so many problems, eight with learning disabilities, four with health problems and 10 with home issues. They are also the most amazing, friendly and eager to learn children.
They love my different glasses. I love their friendliness. They love my hair. I love their resilience. They love to have my individual attention. I just love them all!
It is going to be so hard to leave them in 11 weeks! Now I wish the days would slow down so I can spend more time with these incredible kids!
11 short weeks, and they will adore you. I am so happy for you (and for them). Good luck with your full, full plate!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are enjoying it and that you are doing what you LOVE!!
ReplyDeleteNot trivializing working with children, but I felt the same way the day my cows were delivered on a truck. Sometimes it takes a long time to find your calling in life, but you know when you get there!
