I love my kids because....
1. They asked me to play my violin for them on Thursday and wouldn't let me stop playing for a solid twenty minutes. This didn't involve a state standard and yes, they still learned something.
2. Every day in the bus line I get hugs from all my students. Friday i got ambushed by four of them and fell to the floor because i was plowed over by their love. They may be half my size but man are they strong.
3. They challenged me to a boys vs. girls soccer game when it gets warmer. My cooperating teacher gets to be the referee.
4. They danced around to the music when we watched Happy Feet for penguin week. Later, four of the boys made an impromptu dance routine to show the class the difference between turns, slides and flips for geometry.
5. Every day they ask if we can play a new camp game if they are really good. I got to introduce "Bob the Beaver" this week :)
6. Two of the girls always ask me to braid their hair before they go home. Although my cooperating teacher gives me that "you are not their mother look", I always do it anyway.
7. When I mentioned that I will have to leave in April, two of my favorite students started to tear up.
8. I got asked to three kids' bday parties last week.
9. They can sense when I'm hurting inside. It's the weirdest thing. When I'm having a rough day, they will come up to me during the middle of the lesson and hug me without saying a word.
10. I can't imagine my life without these kids in it.
