This week at my job I had one moment that nearly brought me
to tears right in front of my little cherub! Let me preface this little story
with the fact that this little guy had trouble even counting when he first
began in my classroom. Well on Thursday last week I sat down with this little
guy to work with him on some work he needed to make up and knew from the get go
hat it would be a little challenging for him. Anyway, he has been learning
numbers using tens and ones blocks. He was practicing counting the tens and
ones for each problem and then identifying/writing the number for a given well
the conversation that ensued during my one on one instruction with him was
awesome. Basically at one point I was praising this young man for all he had
done and learned. He responded with "really!?!" He didn't think I
noticed his hard work. I then told him I was super proud of him and again his
response was "really!?!" again he was shocked that I was proud of the
work he had done! I forget his words exactly at this point but he basically
said he was proud of himself and that he liked being at school! You have no
idea the appreciation I had for my job at that moment. Without this work that I
get to do each day with these kiddos, I would not get to have moments like this.
Moments where I have changed a child. Moments where a child has learned
something! How could I not appreciate my position as a teacher! So that is my
task this week to stop and smell the roses with Jessica @ lovely little things!
I have some other random things that I wanted to share as
well!
1. Today I learned that I cannot wear my pants without a
belt! I spent a trip to the grocery store pulling up my pants the whole time!
That was not fun!
2. Hubs and I had the opportunity to head to another baseball
game. It was awesome! We got there before the first pitch and got to see cows,
a milking contest and Nolan Ryan was honored as well! Oh an then, the Angels
won the game! It was a phenomenal night! The night was even capped off with
fireworks! BTW the angel player won the milking contest too!
3 . There are only 8 school days left of the school year.
Then I get a whole two days off and then back to for a six week summer school
session! No rest for the weary!
4. A trip to Disneyland last weekend totally warmed my
heart. We had been meaning to see one of the shows for ages and finally we had
time to catch the "Billy Hill and the Hillbillies" show! It was too fun!
There was country, rap, humor, and toe tapping fun!
Well there it is a list of my miscellany! Hope you enjoyed
the shots I took!
I am also linking up with lowercase letter for Miscellany Monday! Go check out the other link ups!
Have a great Monday!
