Day Brighteners

As a first grade teacher, I have the perk of 31 built in day brighteners.  Yes, the kids.
Really, they don't have very many dull moments.  Their way of communicating and understanding is wonderful and I come home with something new every day.  Here are some of those not so dull moments...

"I don't know why, but I just feel so full of sunshine!!!"
"Starfish regenerate their own arms!" [yes, regenerate]
"Can I borrow your cookie?" [a kindergartener to a fellow classmate at lunch]
"Not like now, how we dress in the modern..." [during a literature discussion]
"I'm running for president. Are you going to vote for me?"
After using the restroom, "I feel SO much better."
When they use the word 'efficient' or 'ricochet' in context
When they spell the word 'preliminary' right and don't even know it

I love our kiddos and am so blessed to be a part of molding their minds and hearts!
We also get to dress like an Egyptian every once in a while...

Ancient Egypt Celebration





















Eating as the Egyptians did: figs, grapes, [root]beer, honey, and pita

[The first grade team]

Excited to start the second half of my second year at Archway.  We're back in full swing from winter break!  Can't wait to see how much they have grown since the beginning of the year.  That's always my favorite and least favorite part... watching them grow up and seeing them move on to second grade! Booooo
