I have been waiting for break to start since December began! One day until a much needed break begins! 12 wonderful days where I can knit, read, stay in my pajamas all day if I want, hang out with friends/family and not be called Miss H. Don't get me wrong I LOVE being a teacher and I love my students, but we are in need of some separation. Getting through this 3 day week has been harder then I thought it would be...Monday morning brought an unexpected event. It was actually my worst nightmare (the reason I almost didn't become a teacher) VOMIT, and not just a little....were talking projectile vomit all over the new kid in my class. I knew having a student throw up in class was inevitable, but it was worse then I thought it was going to be. Thank goodness for my good friend Tiffany that also teaches Kindergarten next door, she came to my rescue and helped me handle the situation. Today was much better though! Are principal had a beautiful breakfast for the staff this morning and our P.E. & Music teachers surprised us and took K-2nd grade all morning so teachers could have extra plan time. It was glorious!! Now all I have to get through is my first Christmas party with 16 Kindergartners cracked out on sugary treats....it should be interesting.
I just started reading the book 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult. This is my first book by her and I LOVE it. I can't put it down and two of my friends are reading it at work too. It's been so much fun being able to talk about it with people. I'm excited to read more of her stuff, one of the other teachers in my school recommended one of her new books. I can't wait spend break reading!
