I absolutely love them. I feel like saying "love" doesn't even begin to describe how much I care about them. I have really developed in the type of educator that I inspire to be over these last few months. I've learned to be stern when needed but also show my students that I love each and every one of them. Each of them is so incredible. So so incredible. I love their habits, their isms, the things that they find absolutely hilarious, their questions that make me laugh hard. They are so wonderful. I wish you (people who still read this) could meet them. They would make you smile.
Today, one of my kids came up to me during our Math test. He started coughing and sneezing at the same time while trying to ask a question and I found it to be hilarious so I burst out laughing during the test. Real mature, I know but if you knew Cory just his stance and his humor and personality cracks me up. I interrupted my students' concentration but o well. I told them "I'm sorry but I think I have lost my mind over the course of this semester." And they asked if they could lose their mind too. :)
Today was Abby's birthday. Matthew Sumrall wrote her a love letter and song. Pretty cute if you ask me. She was totally embarrassed and he has no idea that 99.9% of the fourth grade knows about it. Tomorrow should be fun.
O yea, I'm going to InterSpace Caverns tomorrow on a field trip with my kids. It's an hour and a half cave tour. Bus ride will be long but worth it. Good stories should be coming in tomorrow. Hopefully no bats will attack me while I am in there with them.

I always enjoy hearing about your students and teaching anecdotes, Claire. It's great to hear someone speak about their work/school with the enthusiasm and passion you have. So thanks :)
Also it's good we get to hang out pretty frequently. And I am always grateful that you guys let me practically move in with you for days at a time- and act like it's no big deal. Thanks thanks thanks thanks. And happy THANKSgiving.
