today i had a GREAT day at work. i think it is mostly because i got to spend the day with a class-full (mostly) of kids that i have taught over the past 4 years. i know those guys. i know how they are, their quirks, their humors, their bathroom habits...too much? okay. i will NEVER get tired of hearing a kid delightedly yell, "MISSS AAAAAMY!!!!!," run toward me, and fling their arms around me in the most honest hug ever. never, ever, ever.
today i heard everything from, "why did YOU come back?" to, "oooh, miss amy...i LOVE the sparkles in your hair!" (ha! gray. :) ) to, "i missed you so, so, so, so, so, so much...wanna play UNO?"
it was fun. and i hope i get to do it again tomorrow. :)
Day 20: bonus
today i was thankful for all the crappy days at work i have had over the past four years. hearing a 6 year old say to a younger kid who i never had in class, "rhyming words have different beginnings but the same endings. you know...word families? didn't you learn that in miss amy's class??" made me realize that some of them were actually listening. :)
this is what makes me smile:
remembering. (wow...never realized my artwork displays, etc. were hung in such an OCD manner! yikes!!)
