Smiles!

Woah, three days in a row! This is a record! Happy first day of December. I was just talking to a friend today about how when your students have a great day, it's easy to have a great day. The challenge is having a great day when they are not behaving! Thankfully today they did pretty good. The things that brought smiles to my face today?

We were working on changing singular nouns to plural nouns--pretty easy stuff for them. So I had them read the rules and the new words in their best "bossy" voices. It was hilarious! One of them sounded like Kermit the Frog. Not quite sure how that is bossy, but it was sure cute!

One of my little boys is a crazy athlete! He did 53 push ups (AMAZINGLY good ones) in two minutes! He was so proud of himself! It made me smile to see how excited he became. And these were not just silly kid push-ups--he was doing the real thing!

The gym. I love the music they play and how everyone starts to dance to it. Can you say YMCA anyone? Yes, it's hilarious. I was DEFINITELY NOT in a YMCA gym.

Well, it's off to lesson planning. Let's hope those smiles stay on. May you take joy in the little things today :).
