Yesterday, sadly, was the last day at Winton where I have spent the semester hanging out with the most fun 3/4 students and learning so much! I was particularly excited about this day because we were going on a trip to a farm; and even though the trip was really really fun it was a different sort of day than I was used to. Usually I am in the classroom all day, working with small groups of students or observing the lessons. But in the morning Ms. Collins asked me to step outside and work on cutting out some stuff for their new display board. After a bit we combined part of our class with another class and set off for the farm. I work at a daycare in the summer and we take weekly field trips with around 40 kids, 5 adults and we're in Clemmons and even that is stressful. We had about 2 kids, 3 adults and we had to take a bus and then walk around London, but surprisingly enough it was fine! The kids were so well behaved and are used to using the public transport so it was actually a really fun experience. The farm that we went to was in the middle of a city block, which was another new one for me, but the kids loved it. They got to pet the animals and feed some of them; there was this one little boy who was really scared at the beginning and didn't want to go anywhere near the animals and by the end he was running up to me with wide eyes, so excited about the chick he had just seen or the cow he touched. Moments like this make me so happy to be a teacher!
In the afternoon I was again banished to the hallway to laminate and cut out the papers I'd cut in the morning. I figured something was up and it was a really good look into the real life of a teacher. At the end of the day, after the cutest attempt at being stealth I've ever seen, the students brought me into the classroom and presented me with a wonderful card and some chocolate. They had each drawn a picture of themselves and written me a goodbye note, and then they came and gave me hugs. It was so adorable, and worth the tedious cutting! I left them with my email address and hope we can stay in touch, and if they send me a picture I"ll make sure and share.
Today will hopefully be fantastic. Jordan and I are going to Leister Square to stalk out the Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds movie premiere. I know, dorky right. But I hear that the Jonas Brothers might be there and that makes me turn into the giddy ten year old girl I am. I'll be sure and update if there are any good star sightings!
