day 25- a first

Perfect! I since my next blog is entry is about “A First”, I want to share my first experience as a student teacher. I just started last Thursday, and I loved it immediately. I love being around children so much. even if you can’t really talk to them the way you talk to your friends, I am entertained and amazed with what they have to say. some students are very talkative and will share with you stories that you don’t even ask about. IT’S THE CUTEST THING!

So anyway, earlier this afternoon, I was with the vertical class doing my student teacher duties. After naptime today, Piper, one girl from the class hugged me from the back, and I stood up while carrying her, so the other students started jumping on me. And later they were all hugging me, hanging on to me. It got so crowded that it got so hot and it was hard to breathe, but I loved it anyway. I couldn’t stand up anymore cause of the weight. The head teacher was even telling them to let me go because she said I was “kawawa” hahaha! Although I didn’t say it, I wanted to shout, YOU CAN HUG ME AS LONG AS YOU WANT!

And after that, piper whispered to my ear and said, “teacher, let’s tabi.” Awwwwwwww. It’s sooo cute.

One other moment I had was with Elyssia. It was naptime and she lied down  on me asked me to sing her 5 songs. The songs were 10 little Indian boys, head shoulders knees and toes, happy birthday to you, the alphabet song, and I think it was twinkle twinkle. Elisha said, “This is my pillow.” Referring to my legs. “and this is my blanket.” She got my arm and placed it on top of her body. “my blanket keeps me warm. And sometimes I lick my blanket.” And she licks me!! It was an awesome moment! hahahaha! I love Elyssia so much.

I’m sorry that I am talking about the children as if I were a new mother. I just love children and I’m so happy to be working with them! 

oh and i wish i could share with you all, pictures of these adorable children, but the policy does not allow it.
