I finally got my wings

For the most part today was just another Thursday at school. Except...I finally got my wings. For my kindergartners today was actually field trip so the morning (like every other field trip) took a lot out of me. Thank goodness we didn't do anything that required me to exert myself. Today we attended the musical "The Prince and the Pauper." Everyone seemed to really enjoy it including myself who was able to sit back and relax!

By the time my afternoon classes started at 3pm, I was already exhausted. I literally thought if I was home [home being U.S.A.] this would be a day to go home "sick." Don't worry I stuck through it. Plus, I'm fairly certain if I was truly ill I still would not be allowed to go home.

As I, with my dreary eyes, walked into 3rd period my hyperactive 8 year olds ran up to me screaming their random thoughts. I immediately went into robot mode. As I'm getting the classroom together I only respond with "yes," "yes," and "wow." I know this sounds horrible, but anyone who has worked with kids knows how tiring some things are and how it's difficult to always engage in every little thing an 8 year old wants to tell you. As I finish writing the necessary information on the white board I turn to see Kayla standing right behind me. She points to her backpack and says, "Angel Teacher, I have your wings." This immediately changed my mood! It was probably one of the funniest things that has happened.
