Today was a monumental day. I received my first apple- all golden and shiny- from a student. It was very sweet. It was also the highlight of my day.
The rest of the day was rather stressful. The kids are hyped up because Christmas is less than two weeks a way (crazy I know...) They also were crazy because both Mrs. Shever and Mr. Gentle came to school. And they were crazy because they are six and that is what six-year-olds do : )
We've been working on calendars for the kids to give to their parents for Christmas. They have 12 art pieces that they need to make with their handprints. January has snowflakes. February has hearts. March is a lion. April a butterfly. May a flower. Etc. Etc. It involves paint and lots and lots of patience - and following directions. The middle one is the most difficult for me, the latter difficult for the children.
I'm telling you-they don't listen! They get so excited and they assume so much and all the sudden they've totally messed up the whole thing. So that is why I have a bit of a headache. Because every time I turned around, someone had glued something upside down or drawn something on the wrong side. And we had 3 adults in there to help.
Oh, well. Each calendar will be super unique and priceless to their parents. Just as the kids are super unique, priceless, and teachers of patience to me : )
Ross and I are looking forward to the weekend. We need to get some Christmas stuff done around here and thoroughly enjoy each other's presence.
May your weekend be peaceful and productive : )
