Let's talk Colorado for a minute, I am in complete love with this state. We enjoy all four seasons here with almost 100% sunshine! There are people here from all different walks of life, all different state with completely different backgrounds that all seem to coexist in one city. And there are niches to fit all of these walks of life. While the Springs can get tiresome after a long week at school, a drive to Denver for Taste of Colorado or Breckenridge for Octoberfest can be just the remedy you need!
I have also been completely blessed with new-found friendships this past month. It's hard to move far away from home and these friendships that I have made have lessened that hardship. These friends that we make become our family, our stabilizing beacons in these unfamiliar places and for that I am every grateful.
Oops...I should probably mention my classroom and teaching as of late. As I was told to expect, I have had more students move in and out of my classroom this past month than I have had in my whole semester student teaching! I have dropped 3 students and added 1. Now I am not going to sit here and GUSH about how amazing my students are like they were perfect angels, they are kids. But I will say that I always wake up looking forward to school in the morning and seeing my students. They challenge me, oh do they challenge me! One "Hulked-out" on my classroom, many cry every day, some days I have students who are downright mean to each other but they all have hearts of gold and are incredibly intelligent (although some showcase this talent more than others). And I can confidently say that I have created a LOVE of math in my students. YAY!! That was my one goal this year and to have the kids so excited about math so early is incredible. Tomorrow's blog will be my insider tricks to inspiring the love of math within my First Graders. Until then, stay classy!
