Holiday fun

So, Yesterday was the last day for me of teaching private lessons at an academy type place and I could not be mre thrilled to not have that to worry about any more. So Yay free time!
I promised funny things my students have said so here are some recents!

While watching the Nutcracker ballet:
-Wow! She is really good at spreading her legs! (in reference to a dancer)
-I think the chocolate dance would taste the best!
- Is the Chinese dance the dance of sushi?
-It looks like he is not wearing any pants. Well, maybe long underwear.
-they must be really energetic because this is the coffee dance and they really like coffee.
-He is using the force! (when Herr Drosselmeyer makes the tree grow)

In the halls:
-Don't Make me Kiss youuuuuuu!



Only doing this because it has songs and I have surely sung enough lately.
So here is the Christmas Carols Friday Fill in.
I used things that are going on in my life to help make it more relevant.

1. Said the night wind to the little lamb, are you feeling chilly?_____.
2. The first Noel, the angel did say, HEY EVERYBODY _____.
3. There was snow_____, Over the hills and everywhere.
4. It came upon the midnight clear, a very large herd of deer_____.
5. If you eat some sugar you will_____, Let your heart be light.
6. And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing over and over again_____.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to seeing old friends_____, tomorrow my plans include _a cookie exchange____ and Sunday, I want to _work at the hallmark store____!

Life so far.

Well, the first year of teaching has started with a bang and it is quite the time.
I have seen the doctor more times than ever before in 6 months. Routine Physicals that turn into needing diagnostic tests, bronchitis, and pink eye so far and it is only Christmas. But I really do love this job. Teaching really is what I need to do.

One of my favorite things is the crazy stuff coming out of my student's mouths.
-Autistic kids screaming obscenities and removing their clothes is always fun
-Kids in my structured learning class licking me, peeing on the floor, or having strange ways of greeting or touching you.
- First graders who forget to wear pants under their snow pants when they come to school
-Constant reminders abut something that happened

Next post will be all about the wonderful quotes I have gotten so far, and remember or have written down.
