Cute Kid Story

I've told this story to many people, but just feel like it's too good to keep to myself. We were doing activities for Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday last week, specifically talking about dreams and how to achieve them. This particular activity required the students to fill in two blanks. One blank said "My dream is to:" and the other said "I can help my dream come true by:". So, one super cute 7 year old (who I'm technically not supposed to name on the internet) filled his in.

My dream is to: be an NBA basketball player.
I can help my dream come true by: wishing on a wishing star.

Ummmmm....yeah! Okay, he had to ask me how to spell basketball and player and wishing, but this is still one of the most precious stories ev-er! He's even cuter in real life.

Darlin' I love you, but give me Park Avenue

Remember this?! Okay, old times on TV Land, but I seriously love this show.

1 down, 8 to go

I've successfully completed my first week of student teaching! Sometimes staying awake in the mornings while I just sit there and listen to my mentor teacher teach.... But, I made it. This week, we have today off for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (hooray for places celebrating federal holidays!) and tomorrow we are going on a FIELD TRIP! We're going to see Junie B. Jones at the Nashville Children's Theater. I'm pumped. If you've never read any Junie B., I would certainly have to recommend it. They're chapter books that any normally functioning adult could read in about 45 minutes, and are well worth the time. Wednesday-Friday I will be teaching my first lessons on "The Verb 'be'". Yeah. I'm hoping it turns out more exciting than it sounds. I'll keep you updated.

Maybe someday I'll think of something better than life updates to post about, but this is really all I have time for now. I'll keep you updated!
