I feel so fortunate that I love my degree and I have absolutely adored my student teaching experience. What a range sixth grade to kindergarten; so far I have enjoyed every grade I have been in, but I really love kindergarten.
I mean it's not everyday that you get to hear and witness constant compliments (if one of the students says it, they all have to say it), unconditional smiles, endless effort, or receiving hundreds of hugs everyday. They are so full of life and eager to learn and I just love that. Everything is exciting for them and I love getting to see their journey of learning. Kindergarten kiddos do the funniest things; I have so many good stories. I feel kind of embarrassed saying this; today we were talking about things we are thankful for (it's almost Thanksgiving, so this is a must!), and towards the end the students asked what I was thankful for and while choking back tears, I said I was thankful for my sweet kindergarteners. Now, maybe I am the sappy type but I definitely was not expecting to tear up just speaking about what I was thankful for but I am thankful that I get to do something I love. That's all for now, folks. Have a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to mine; chasing Amanda with the turkey, laughing hysterically with my sisters, seeing my adorable nephews, and just being with my awesome, hoot of a family!!
Thats all for now folks, Happy Thanksgiving!
