I love teaching

Aw man! So glad it's Friday. It may have only been a four day working week, but it was still an exhausting week. 

I can't believe it's been 2 1/2 weeks since I first started teaching. Unbelievable. My kids are still great. No major behavior stuff, haven't had to send any notes home. I have had to ask kids to go sit at their desk for some think time before changing the behavior card, but, nothing serious enough to alarm the parents. 

It's funny, I thought I had the seating chart all set up perfectly. Then I realize, I never will because someone will always hit it off with the person next to them. Which is a great thing when it comes to social development, but tough at times when it comes to classroom learning. :) It's still cute though. 

I love that Friday is casual day. That means I get to wear jeans. Before actually teaching, I couldn't believe that teachers would wear jeans to school. I mean, professionalism! hello! Now that I'm here, I can't WAIT to wear jeans. It's like the best thing about Fridays! :) 

One other cute thing. The kids have started giving me hugs when leaving for the day or coming in. I didn't expect that at all (I'm not a huggy person at all, not even with my own family, just with my hubby). But it's just nice to know that no matter what, the kids still like me at the end of the day/week. :) It's an ego booster, even if it's from someone who is only seven or eight years old. :) 

Ah, Teaching. I absolutely love it :)
