Class is back in session.
Have I told you lately how much I love my kids? Well, I do, a ton.
They are simply wonderful. One of my more rambunctious kids was gone today. It made me really appreciate how much my students have changed behavior wise over one whole semester. This morning I had to do a ton of testing while my aides taught. It was fun too to see how far my aides have come teaching this past semester. It's crazy how much kindergarten students learn over the span of five months. My kids now know geometry, how to write numbers 1-20, over twenty "sight" words, and can now sound out consonant vowel consonant words by blending. Their brains begin to adapt into massive learning sponges. I. love. it.
I've really begun to like teaching kindergarten, as much as I hate to say that. I always swore that I would stay far away from this grade since my mom has taught it for over twenty five years out in Indiana. But, the kids make me want to stay in this grade and at RC forever. I'm already starting to miss my students for next year. They can't leave my class. I'll miss them too much.
