New Student

Let me just start by saying, I work at an awesome school.

With awesome coworkers that are willing to take your class for a while so you don't have to miss things with your own children!

This morning Dylan's preschool had a sing-along.

It started at 9:15.

So I rearranged a few things at work, had someone cover for me and went.

I am so happy I went.

It was so much fun watching him perform some songs I have been hearing over and over again.

And he was the cutest Darth Vader ever!

But we had a few problems when I did return to work...

I realized I had a new student.

One that needed a lot of attention.

One that had to have a desk right next to the teacher's desk.

Luckily he needed to be by the teacher's desk because he's so STINKIN` cute!
Yep, Dylan spent the rest of the day with me at school.
I had NO clue they were dismissed from school after the sing along.
I had no way of getting him to his grandma's and back to school in time.
So, he joined me.
He did 3rd grade work.
He rocked at it!
We started with a spider...



He had so much fun making it (so did his 22 classmates).
He didn't even need my help.
Just sat there and made it (it's peanut butter in the middle of 2 crackers)

Then we made another spider craft.
Again..this was right up his alley!
He was very excited to borrow one of his new classmate's glue stick!

We also did our weekly estimation jar (he was only 7 off),

played some kickball (he got a home run) and duck-duck-goose,

ate lunch with the teachers,

and had a Halloween Parade!

He like the older ladies!

He was holding their hands the entire time.

He did such a great job.

He loves my students, and they love him.

He stood in line with them.

Would randomly turn around and give the person behind him a hug.

Talked to them.

Played with them.

My class was even nice enough to let him get a home run in kickball.

I didn't even have to tell them to be gentle...they ran with him so he went to the right bases,

ran slow so they wouldn't get him out, and cheered him on so loud.

I am truly blessed to spend my days with 22 sweet kiddos.
My new student was awesome...I know we're not supposed to have favorites as teachers..but he is my favorite student ever!!!

Sad he won't be joining us Monday..

but I do have a job to do...

and having a 4 year old around and try teaching 3rd grade would be quite difficult!
