Crazy Kindergarten Adventure

This past week I went up north to be a student teacher in Kindergarten for a week. What a CRAZY difference from fourth grade!

In true Kindergarten style, here is a counting book describing my week...

What an amazing week! Can't wait to find out what kind of adventure we'll have in St. George next month!

"You're Going to Love It"

Today after I was done teaching at the elementary school, I heard a girl behind me say to a friend:

"It's called oxidation. It's what happens when rocks rust. You're going to love it when you're in 5th grade!"

Total. Win.

I just had to ask the girl who her teacher was so I could share! I knew she'd love to hear that story.

Apparently the 5th grade field trip to Cedar Breaks today was a success!

In other news, today I...

• Wrote a song about the writing process in 3 minutes

• Received a homemade paper sea turtle

• Had to cheat off a student's multiplication sheet so I didn't look stupid while teaching math (don't judge. The multiplication tables for 8 are tough!)

• Tipped my hat to the people who market Bugles. I approve of the pun on the back of their bag: "Other Snacks are Pointless!" Darcie, I know you're with me on this one.

• Witnessed a marriage proposal (Hey! Another kind of "rock".... heh heh... Give me some butter, I'm on a roll.) Congratulations to the happy couple! It was like a scene straight out of a movie.

In all, a pretty great day!
