So we all know that the school year is off and running.... and this makes me very MIA in the blog world... Sorry to let ALL my readers down... I am going to try and blog more often because it is great therapy... it also makes me think about life fully....sometimes I do not take the time to be "real" and express my heart.
So let me tell you about my class.... I have ten children!!!! In my mind, that is equivalent to 35 students!!!! It is tough. But it is a challenge that I love to face... I love the sense of accomplishment that I get to encounter when May rolls around and I see progress that my students have made.... I have three grade levels... K-2...planning and scheduling really has been tough....
The same question plays through my head and when I pass other teachers in the hall, we ask each other.... why do we do what we do?!?!?!? (Besides the two month vacation that I allows me to go on trips to places like NY (look above)) My job is hard, tiring, stressful, emotional, frustrating, challenging, etc........ but I have the opportunity to shower the Love of the Lord on children eight hours a day..... and there you have it.... that is why I do what I do!!!
I have decided that I am going to leave the blog world with my favorite student qoutes from the week in each post because afterall, kids say the darnest things.......
"Mrs. Chrisman... I can't wait to become a woman..... and I am going to get a job."
(after lunch...waiting outside the bathroom) "Mrs. Chrisman... My butt... it itch..it hurt." (Classmate) "BATHROOM WORD,BATHROOM WORD." (passing teacher) "Mrs. Chrisman.... you got to pick your battles!"
Much love to you all!!! Thanks Kyle for being a fantastic teacher spouse.... Not everyone could do it... and blog world.... did I tell you have my sweet husband sent me flowers to school on the first day?!?!? I know... I am blessed!
