Need Comfort

I have never had a kid ask for a hug after he gets in trouble with me. It caught me off guard and I couldn't believe what he said.  Well at least, he doesn't fight me when he gets in trouble.

In the morning, we are having prayer time and I ask for prayer requests.  One kid tells me that his dad is going into the field today for work.

Another kid pipes up and says, "I'm going to the field one day, too, .............................to pick corn!" 

Write Cards

So cute! This little kid challenged himself to write the words I wrote on the board.  These cards are so wonderfully made and I am so proud of the effort he put into it.

Make Excuses

"Did you run in the hallways?"

"Yup! The ground pushed me and made me run."

That awkward moment when you text your principal in a joking way, just to find out that it was a parent...

Melt My Heart

"I like Jesus!"

"Me too!"

"I LOVE Jesus!"

Give Directions

This conversation involved most of my students.

"How'd your parents die, Ms. Kwan?"

Well, they aren't dead yet, they're in Edmonton

"Auntie Misty lives in Edmonton!"

"And your grandma?"

"No, she lives off the highway." 

"Is it far?"

"No, you just get into your car and then you go vroom, and then turn, and then vroom, and then turn, and then you turn again, and then vroom, and you're there.  Then you turn on the driveway and park."

"Oh, okay."
