My Students

This is the type of stuff I would deal with everyday in class....

Hahah! I laugh so hard every time a watch that. The big "THUNK" each time he hits my camera.

This video was from one of our Fridays. In class on Fridays, we would do our daily starter which consisted of them answering a question on the board and then fixing 2 sentences that had spelling or grammatical errors. Then, we would take our spelling and vocabulary test. And then the rest of class we'd make a treat and learn a dance! The kids always look so forward to Fridays. 

This video gives a little glimpse into what I dealt with everyday. Those kids were SUCH a pain in the behind. Especially Miguel. The one hitting my camera. He was so disobedient. Would never keep his hands to himself. He hit the other kids. Called the other kids mean names. Broke 3827940 pencils. Would run out of the classroom. Wouldn't do his work. Scribbled all over the table. And sooo much more. 

But I was the biggest sucker for him. I loved that kid to pieces. I learned to love all of my students (maybe some a little more than others). At times I had to slam my hand on the table. Shout out a students name. Have them look me straight in the eye and tell them the quit doing what they were doing. And then I would send them to the "isolation chair" in the corner. But, it was impossible for me to stay mad at those kids. 

I just wanted the best for them. I wanted them to learn as much as they possibly could. I want them to have successful futures. 

Before I left to Acapulco this weekend, they asked me to bring them back each a seashell. So, while there I picked out cute little pink tinted seashells for the girls and blue tinted seashells for the boys. I was so excited to give it to them. Unfortunately, with tears running down my face, I had to give the bag of seashells to one of the other teachers to give to them. I'm heartbroken that I don't get to give each of them their special seashell. I was so excited to be all cheesy and silly. Maybe pretend like I forgot somebody's. Or pretend like their was still a crab in one of them. I loved joking around with and teasing my students.

They were so fun. So annoying. So lovable.
