School School School

I was dreading school today. One of the teachers I work with was sick so she wasn't able to come. This meant I was going to have an extra four students in every rotation. The groups we have now were carefully made to separate the students that are the most violent. Today was a recipe for chaos. And it was, but it was also wonderful. Because of the one missing teacher I got to teach two of my classes in a room with just me and my students. (We usually have two groups in a class.) I loved it because it was easier to keep my students focused.

My favorite part of my day is a little devious. After school I was playing with the kids by myself. The teachers were enjoying taking pictures of the students because they were out of uniform today. Some of the teachers I work with came over to me and started chanting "I love.." and inserting their own name and trying to take videos of the students yelling for them. This was when all of my students were outside after school. The kids played along for a little while and then switched to yelling "Teacher Carsyn, I love teacher Carsyn, Teacher Carsyn is the best!" This ruined their videos that the girls were trying to take, but I couldn't help but smile. I love my students. After tomorrow, I only have two weeks left with them and it is breaking my heart.
