Here are some pictures of the latest happenings in kindergarten:
Decorating cookies on Valentine's Day









































A group of volunteers came and did a fun reading event for my class last week. They donated over 100 paperback books to the school, and each kid got to take a few home.














I took two girls who'd gotten Student of the Month out on Saturday morning. We went to Target, where they were having a story time for Dr. Seuss' birthday. The girls got balloons and goody bags, and they enjoyed it. But I think they enjoyed perusing the toy section more. We had fun pressing buttons on all the interactive displays. And they were so good...they didn't even ask for anything. Then we had some time to kill until it was late enough for lunch, so I took them to Dollar Tree and let them pick something out. One of the girls suggested we get a baby card for Justin and Barbara. Justin works at Urban Promise, and they had a baby on Friday. I thought that was very thoughtful!

Eventually we went to McDonalds for lunch. I'd initially picked it because it was the cheapest place I could think of. Our Head of School gave me a kind of hard time when I told her that's where I was taking them since we're doing the whole healthy food thing this year. So then I tried to think of other places we could go. In the end, I gave the girls some choices that would have definitely cost me more, but they both wanted McDonalds, which was fine by me. We had a great morning together!










That's all for now! This should be a busy week, and maybe I'll hear more from grad schools too!

Am I watching a comedy show?

Another week of school has come and gone, full of strange happenings. For one: one boy in my class often throws up after lunch. I'm not sure if he just eats too fast or what, but it happens about once or twice a week. On Tuesday (I think. The days all kind of blur together in my brain.) my class was especially hyper in the cafeteria, and I moved boy-who-throws-up to a table by himself so he could calm down a little. Well, while he was there, he threw up. Luckily, no one was sitting around him. So I went into the kitchen to get things to clean it up. While I was in there, another boy laughed at him for throwing up. Now, this boy laughs at everything, but unfortunately, boy-who-throws-up is also extremely extremely sensitive and gets angry at the drop of a hat. (Did I mention I hate cleaning up vomit???) So I come out of the kitchen with my bleach and my paper towels, and kid-who-throws-up has kid-who-laughs in a headlock and is punching him in the stomach. I hustle over to them to ...

Last Day of School

Well, today was the last day of school. Dismissal was at 11:30 today, and my last student left just about 45 minutes ago. It definitely hasn't sunk in yet, but I'm sure it will at some point. I'm not sure if it'll happen gradually or all of a sudden. Graduation last night was a big success and I think helped me and the students to get some closure. It turned into a pretty big, over the top thing, and for a while I was really wondering if trying to do this was a stupid move on my part. Thankfully, Justin's church, Wilmington City Vineyard Church , volunteered to provide refreshments and help with setup and cleanup. They were a huge help, and it made everything way nicer than if I had just done it myself. I was just planning on throwing a pack of cookies and some juice on a table, but they had tablecloths and healthy snacks and got me folding chairs and all sorts of helpful stuff. I'd say there were about 60 people there, plus my 8 students and the volunteers from...
