I had one kid tell me he never wants to leave school. I've heard it before from some of the other kids, but I was NOT expecting it from this one. He gets aggravated at me all the time so I was pleasantly surprised he said that. Then of course all the other kids chimed in telling me they want to live at school with me and sleepover. I felt bad b/c I love going home every day. BUT I loving going to work in the mornings. I just need some me time to recharge.
I volunteered to help tutor children after school for TAKS. Well, I get paid but I didn't do it for the money. I'll probably donate the money to the PTA or the school. I also found out I get the inclusion class next year and will go observe a student I will have next year sometimes in the next few weeks. My principal said not to freak out and I laughed. It'll be a challenge for sure, but I'm honored she feels I can handle that challenge and responsibility my 3rd year of teaching. My masters teaching buddies can't get over it and my professor said "really?? already??" hahaha!
My friend Chris (from college) put a link on his facebook status about how the American education system has failed and I commented asking if he wanted a list of reasons why. He just texted me back with, "I know any of your students wouldn't turn out to be such atrocities!" I heart him. :)
p.s. I had NO idea rascal flatts has a new cd coming out! I got an email with their new single in it and it's amazing like always. April 7th. WOOHOO!!!
