Week 6 Service at Thomas Edison Elementary

           I had a good time this week with my kids and I wish I could have spent Thursday with them too. The kindergartners love me and I can tell. Everyday I walk in to get them from recess they always run up to me and give me hugs or just shout my time from where they are standing. And I love those kids too. They are so funny and well behaved. I don't like to admit this but I would have to say my kindergartners are better then my first graders. I don't mean in character but academicly. But they are a very smart class and I'm glad I get to teach them. I even get to go up in front of the class and teach for a few minutes. Nothing special really, just colors, numbers, shapes and the alphabet. But it is a cool experience to be in charge because obviously I've been a student my whole life and teaching is just different and fun.
          My first grade class wasn't all bad this week like they usually are. I would say the worst thing they did this week was pay attention in physical education. One kid had to run next to a girl and he didn't want to so he cried. I feel they are very immature for their age but it seems they have been improving. As usual I've just been helping the kids read and I've seen major improvements. I mean almost every kid that comes up to read to me passes and that makes me proud. I hope they continue to improve in this next week and I'm excited to start again Monday.
