Student Teaching Week #2

I really loved hot yoga.  I told my cooperating teacher on Friday that I was so excited to go so that I could finally be warm.  Our school is kept really cold during the day so I am constantly freezing. I was a little worried it would be too hot but I guess living in Arizona for a year and a half helped me deal with the heat.  Tess checked the thermostat and the room as 95 degrees.  The teacher Tess normally goes to didn't show up so another teacher took over.  His name was Don and he was a husky guy with a beer belly but he could get way deeper into those poses than I could.  I was feeling sore from the 8 miles the day before and it felt so good to stretch.  Tess and I both bought a pass for 5 classes for $25.  Can't wait to go again :)
Saturday night Thomas and I had a date night and used a movie ticket he got for Christmas from the hospital he was working at.  We saw Water For Elephants.  We both really enjoyed it and it made me want to read the book again.  
This week at school:
The students haven't been getting a paintbrush after they go to the art specialist or the book from the librarian (which they get to display outside their classroom door to show they were well behaved).  So my cooperating teacher had them write a letter to the specialists apologizing.  One of the girls in my class who is so sweet and well behaved decided to write a letter to me too. 

One day I was sitting at the teacher's computer typing in grades when the kids were putting stuff away in their cubbies.  Someone tossed a note on the desk right next to me and this is what it said:
I really love these kids.  They make me laugh everyday.

It cracks me up that the boys like tracing and coloring these little Bratz doll coloring sheets.  And it makes me smile that some of the kids call me Miss G.  Makes me sound pretty gangsta :)
