I promised that I would blog throughout my teaching experience. I have not been doing a very good job at keeping that promise. For now, please enjoy reading these hilarious, sweet, spunky responses from my students on a recent survey question:

Questions: 

1. What is one thing you want for Christmas? 

2. What is one thing you want to give someone else for Christmas? 

Student 1: 

1. The one thing I want for Christmas is to have a good day with my family

2. Something that makes that person happy

Some days, they are hooligans with a ton of energy and I just want to know what teacher fed them jelly donuts and 5-hour energy shots when I wasn't looking. Other days, they are broken and come in quiet because life's stresses and burdens at home are so distracting that they struggle to focus in school. But every day, I love all 100 of them and they deserve my best. I'm so thankful for this experience so far!
