Lots of Laughs, Lots of Learning, Lots of Love

This week was a WHIRLWIND!  Seriously, where did the time go?!  We had a G-R-E-A-T week!!  Some of my favorite weeks are when we don't have anything special planned, and we still have a super week!  That's when you know raw learning is happening!  To keep this post short and sweet, I've put lots of pictures with lots of captions to show off the fun learning that took place this week!

Have I mentioned I love teaching?! :)

What's the largest polygon they can create?

Polygon Playground!

Cutting, creating, and partitioning shapes!

Creating!

Exploring!

 

Then someone famous came to our school... Deandre Hopkins!

One of our students showed just how COOL she really is by having her famous cousin come eat lunch with her for her birthday!  She was quite the star at lunch!  What a great sport and testimony proving dreams can be a reality!








THEN... a FAMOUS author came to our school to tell our students that each of them have equal opportunity to become authors one day!  Such an incredible message that was inspiring to even me!

Oh wait... there's MORE!  Our principal had a really awesome idea to test run Chrome Books for our 3rd graders... let's just say... they're a HIT!!!  Here's just ONE way we've used them so far.. listening to children's books online!

Oh yeahhhh, then it rained... which means no recess.... OR it means learning how to stretch like REAL LIVE Olympians do!  Who can say no to that?!

Those pictures are just from Monday-Friday... can you say FUN or what???  But then, Saturday came.  Folks, the fun wasn't over.  It never ends!  I went to the park to stroll around with my friend and her little girl.  Miss Fincher's class knows how to party on the weekend!  I ran into THIS gem Saturday afternoon!

I love laughing with these guys.  I love learning with these guys.  I love loving these guys.  I could never consider this a "job".  It's not an obligation, it's not an entitlement, it's not a burden.  It's an opportunity to change lives, enrich minds, and love children well.  Teaching is an absolute privilege, and I'm so grateful for every second I get to spend with the children placed in my classroom.
