So Pretty....

I have a student that tells me pretty much every day, "You look pretty today!"  During parent/teacher conferences, he came for his conference and told me I looked pretty.  Then he turned to his mom and said with such pride in his voice, "I tell her that every day!"  So, we did our conference, and then, as they were leaving, he said, "Thanks for teaching me.  And, thanks for always looking so pretty!"  That same night, I had a student's little sister tell me I was so pretty!  It was so funny because she said it really quietly like it was more just a thought that escaped her mind!  Back to the child that always calls me pretty, one day, he asked me if I had seen some show.  I told him I hadn't, and he said, "My family is going to see it tonight if you want to come with me."  Say wha?  Did he just ask me out?  That's definitely a no!  So, now it's like a competition between 2 boys to see which one can tell me I look pretty first.  I wonder how long they'll keep this up before they get bored of it... I'm bored of it! :)

New Year, New Grade

This year, I switched from 3rd grade to 6th grade, and I have realized that it's one of the best moves I've ever made!  I love teaching 6th grade!  Sure, there is some drama, and the kids have bigger problems, but I love 6th grade!  Stories to come...
