Helping in Mariyah's Class
So today I helped in Mariyah's classroom and it was lots of fun. One of the activities I helped with was Alphabet Bingo with 25 kids(we rotated with the activities so I had 5 kids per Bingo.
I was in aw as to how emotional some of these children are and not to mention when they don't win they are so upset. This little boy named Ben started to cry when he didn't win and then he said to the 2 other students that did win that he was going to Kill them because they won. I was in shock what he said and I said we don't say that and let him know that he could still win the next game. So instead of him getting all upset again I felt bad so I set it up so that he would win and then he was happy. This girl named Morgyn told me on the playground that she was allergic to monkey bars...cute huh. When we asked the kids to put their homework in their backpacks Kaitlyn started to cry and was all upset because she forgot her backpack today. My oh my I give extreme probs to all teachers. This was my 1st time volunteering in the classroom and I already know all the kids names, the kids that don't listen, cause problems and so on. The classic moment was when Emma said...Ms. Hadley why do you talk so fast:). I thought that was so funny and cute....since I do talk really fast but don't realize it because most people who know me are used to it...well I think they are:) Overall it was a great day and Mariyah loved me being in her classroom.

I love that you talk fast! It is so much fun to read your blog. Sorry I have been MIA for so long. I have made a mid year resolution to read my friends blogs more often. Thanks for the fun update :)

Little kids are great. I know Ellie has enough drama on her own. I can't imagine spending every day with 20 other kids like her!

I can't wait to volunteer in Hailey's classrooms and what a scary kid wanting to kill everyone! Oh, and I think Dave and I are coming down for Darren's wedding!

Hey Amy, I just read your last 3 posts or so and holy cow, poor Josh. I am glad to hear that's he's o.k. You are so brave. I think if I saw Justin like that I would pass-out right next to him. I don't do good with blood.

On a completely different note, I am so excited to see you and your fam for Thanksgiving and to attend your brother's wedding. We will have a blast. Hopefully G-ma and G-pa are feeling better by then. Love ya!!!! See ya in November. Love, Natalie

That's so funny. I caught myself trying to read this post really fast so that I could imagine you saying it and then you started talking about how you talk fast. Crazy! Ok, that little boy scares me. I can't believe that in 3 years I am goig to be sending my baby to school with kids who say "I'm going to kill you" over loosing bingo! Home school? J/K

How cute! You do talk fast, but you enunciate so well that you're pretty easy to follow. :-)
