This week was by far the hardest week yet of teaching. The newness of everything is wearing off and the kids are getting very comfortable with me (maybe a little too comfortable). But the biggest lesson I learned this week was how to give my kids my best when my heart is hurting. As most of you know by now I found out last Sunday that the baby I nannied for last year, Paige, has a cancerous tumor in her chest. She is so sweet and I took care of her from the time she was 5 months till she was 15 months, so she is my baby too. That being said it was incredibly hard for me to go to school and focus while I was awaiting news on her condition. And of course Monday and Tuesday the kids were CRAZY! The saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” went through my head about a thousand times those two days. Fortunately, by the end of the week it proved itself to be very true. After “laying down the law” on Wednesday with my week started getting better, and by the time the kids left on Friday I was feeling much better J
Cute Kid Quotes:
Madison: “Miss Bass! Tyler said the F word!!!”
Me: “Tyler, get over here!”
Madison: “You know. F-L-I-P”
Me: “Never mind Tyler”
One day I wore a black and white striped cardigan…and got this fashion advice from on of my girls…
“Miss Bass, I don’t like that sweater. It makes you look like your in jail!”
To practice writing friendly letters I had the kids write me a letter telling me what they think of our class so far this year, here are two of my boys responses.
“So far I think this class is good, but it is not that good.”- Rocky
“You are the best teacher ever. You are coot like a cwow.” -Tyler
(He read his out loud to me, if you can’t decode kid spelling it says “cute like a Chihuahua”).
