Turns out my baller VP had eye surgery, which is why he’s wearing sunglasses. I’m a horrible person.
Today I got a mint, a slice of dried mango, and some bread, all from 1st grade students. I also had students chanting my name as I walked into the 2.5 homeroom. It’s enough to make one get a big head, but don’t worry, I also had a kid in class 2.8 who attempted to derail my class today by pretending to be stupider than he is and yelling out random phrases and is just a nasty piece of work in general, so I’m not in any danger of feeling too confident. However, today was a good end to a pretty good week… all in all I’m glad I volunteered to teach this week, and I’m genuinely sad that I won’t see my kids until March. Already I feel like I have a stronger bond with this group of 2nd years than I did with last year’s… maybe because they already know me, maybe because it’s the beginning of the school year, whatever it is, I hope they’re this willing to talk to me when the actual school year starts. Anyway, a few of them asked for my email address, so hopefully I’ll hear from them.
