A day in the life...

I love spending my day with kids! And I'm really enjoying the age of my 4th graders. They aren't too young anymore to joke around but they aren't snotty yet. And they keep me entertained with some of the things they come up with! They are also good for your self esteem with "Best Teacher in the world" notes everyday and little whiteboard messages that say, "You are good at math," and bad for your self-esteem with comments like "You are getting HUGE Mrs. Morey!" It's fun to watch them learn and it's a challenge to find ways to challenge them. Here's a glimpse into my life as a teacher...

This one keeps me on my toes, DAILY. He's so fun though!

He "desperately" wants to be in the army. When Andy came to talk to the class last week, he literally freaked out and asked for his autograph. (Which then led the rest of the class to ask for his autograph! Andy was a celebrity!)

Never mix up Power Rangers and Star Wars. When I asked if he was a Power Ranger, he said, "You need to get with the whole Star Wars thing Mrs. Morey."

He started out the day as a 50's kid and ended the day looking like this. Peer pressure maybe??

These girls didn't plan on being devils together, it just happened. And they were pretty much the only devils in the whole school. So random!

She was SO excited about her county report and the video she made for it. I love this girl - her smile is contagious!

Read the P.S. Sometimes I wonder if my students are paying attention to the REAL subject that we are learning about!

These persuasive pumpkins were hilarious! (The students had to persuade me not to pick them from the pumpkin patch to carve into a jack-o-lantern. Don't mind the spelling errors - we're working on it.)

They LOVE little crafts like this. Kristie, Aly, and my mom taught the students how to make these. But I'm pretty sure that they were more excited to meet my sisters and have my mom tell them stories all day then to make these.
