Hamburger Helper for dinner!

My teacher badge!
TODAY IS FRIDAY!! So as you see above my teacher badge that I wear everyday with my outfits. It makes me feel so official. The one below (that is sideways yes..) is what I got to wear today. It was pride day so teachers get to wear a school t-shirt and JEANS!!!

Today was a much better day with my class. I woke up this morning and laid in bed. I started off the day asking God to help me get through to the students. I wanted my light for him to shine while teaching. I needed these students to understand what was taught. I asked a specific prayer for the one little boy who needs to listen. I wanted to see hope!

Well let's say that God answered this prayer!

I walked into the classroom, and began putting down the tape for the students new seating chart on the carpet/rug. The students began entering in the classroom, and there was a different feeling from them. They were all in better moods, as well as I was.

We began the morning with the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem as usual. Half the kids had their left hand over the right side of their chest :)

After all of the morning stuff we began with share time. One little girl got up and told us that she got a new pink gun :) ha. And she promised that it was real. Another girl got up and told us she was decorating her room (maybe pink). And the last one said she got a new bike!

After all the morning stuff the students started writing in their journals. They always right about the neatest thing. One student wrote, "My mom is brown." Another wrote, "I need to lose weight, so I can fit in my clothes." I love getting to read the students writing. They all have neat ideas.

We worked on some other things in class, and all the students were very attentive.

During one activity one boy said his stomach was hurting. He finally looked at Mrs Prince and said, "I need to go poo, poo." She laughed and said my face was priceless....

After recess we went and got the students. One little boy was telling me how he hated school. All he wanted to do was play and he can't do that here. I said do you not want to go to school and be smart. He said that he gets laughed at because he goes to school.

I read at story time today and THEY ALL LISTENED!!!!! All the students were very attentive, and I was not mocked Ha!

While the students were working on an activity one student asked me what I was going to do when I got home. I told him that I was going to figure out what I was doing for dinner. He looked and said oh dinner. Are you going to have hamburger helper? I LOVE hamburger helper. It's the best. You should have hamburger helper!

At the end of the day Mrs. Prince and I were talking and she said that a little boy needed to work on not talking so much. He heard us and said, "I ain't gonna talk anymore." Mrs. Prince corrected him and said, "You aren't going to talk anymore" He said right, "I ain't not gonna talk anymore." Finally after about three times he got it right! He was so funny. About a minute later he was talking again :)

Today was a really good day overall. It had some parts that were a little blah, but over all it ended up being a good day where I learned a lot.

Now it is the weekend! Amy is coming down and treating Kate and me to dinner :)

I will also be preparing Math lesson plans for next week! Oh Boy! Mrs. Prince won't be there Monday and Tuesday so hopefully the students will listen!

Have a great weekend :) And remember to pray for the teachers around you!
