The Immaculate Conception

As I sit at my desk at work I just have to laugh...... I am reminded of why I have such a passion for teaching and my students. My brother always said I should start a book and perhaps that just may happen. Until then I will share it in my blog for all to enjoy.

My second grade group can be frustrating, fun, and overwhelming all at the same time!!:) I have three girls who all have 3 different needs. One is learning disabled along with a few behavior issues, the other one is developmenatally delayed, and finally an at risk student who is low in reading (and helps me to keep my sanity!!. Now, that you have a idea of their abilities I will move on to my story.

Sam and Ray gave me an awesome calendar for xmas. I put it up on my board and this month is Ray's month:). He is sleeping on my dad's couch, nestled with blanket and pillow. My one student asks me, "Mrs. Hudson did you have a baby over Christmas break?" It took everything out of me to not loose it!! She was quite serious!! I explained who was in the picture and that it was a xmas present.

About 20 minutes later we were doing the vocab word, shimmered. I asked, "What do you think can shimmer?" The next thing I know my one student is standing and shaking her top half like she is doing a latin dance!!:) Again trying to keep it all together, I said no, that isn't quite what we are talking about here. She was thinking of shimmy!!!

Whew!!! It was quite the eventful morning. I wonder what the afternoon will bring............
