TGIF!!

   I am SO glad it is Friday!! But, before I dive into my weekend I must give the two highlights of my last two days...

   Thursday: KS---I was thinking of you! This week we have started learning about jobs/careers in Kindergarten guidance class. I have these neat, but slightly awkward posters of Native American children dressed up like different careers: teacher, ballerina, astronaut, actor, lawyer, doctor, etc. When I held up the lawyer one they sounded it out (funny in itself) and I asked, "Does anyone know what a lawyer does?"
   One particularly rambunctious student replied, "It's a bodyguard!"
   "No, it's not a bodyguard..." I said as I scanned the other students to get more ideas.
   "Well, it's just like one!" he said---and I corrected him again, but he was determined. Maybe in some aspects a lawyer really is a bodyguard?? 
**I searched all over the Internet for these posters, but they must be one of a kind because I cannot find a picture of them anywhere...

   Friday: First graders were switching classes, and one taller boy who is super into football and wrestling but also has a lovey side was standing by me. A very small boy walked by and the football lovey one started hugging him, and then when the small one got away the football lovey said, "He hates me!" and pointed to the small boy. I said, "Why?" and the small one responded, "Well he always kisses me..." I gave the football lovey a look like what? and he responded, "He is just so cute!" This reminds me of Jamie having a really cute friend in college--DG...he's just SO cute!!
