Week one of teaching is in the books!
What an awesome and exhausting week. I have been blessed with great co workers, mentors, and students.
My homeroom is made up of 16 students. They are a little (okay very very) chatty, but they are also very sweet and extremely helpful. My favorite part of the week was being greeted first thing in the morning with goodmorning hugs and left each day with hugs and "I love you'd."
While procedures, instruction, and curriculum are considered necessities in the classroom I took time to instill in my students over the course of the first week that no matter what we are a classroom family. My students thought it was silly when I told them that they have two mommas now- their home momma and their school momma (me). They also gasped when I told them that now they have 15 more brothers and sisters. However, I have seen my sweet babies embrace the classroom family model. They are quick to help a neighbor, they encourage one another like you would not believe, and they know without a shadow of a doubt that I will fiercely protect them, that I love them, and that I want to see them succeed.
I am looking forward to watching their growth this year and sharing it here with you!
Funny moment of the week:
I wore my hair like this on Thursday: Find picture here and...
One of my kids said "Miss Everett, you got pizza roll hair!"
Ways you can pray for my kiddos this week:
1. They have a quiz in thursday
2. Pray they are focused and attentive
3. Pray they feel loved and encouraged each day
Ways you can pray for me this week:
1. Rest each night
2. Patience
3. The ability to give consequences when needed (it's hard to punish consistently)
Thank you!!!
