Stories Already!

Yesterday we were out at recess and one of the little guys in my class was racing his friend, tripped, fell and lightly skinned both knees.  There was only a tiny bit of blood but he was wailing as if his legs were going to fall off! :)  I sent him into the office to get a couple of band-aids.  I put the band-aids on his knees and he was still crying quite loudly.  It was time for us to go inside and pack up to go home.  His sister came over and said, "Lets pray over your knee..."  It was the cutest thing!  Child like faith!  They believe God is big enough to heal his knee!  Pretty cool!

Yesterday we began writing stories, which at first is really just drawing pictures.  I went around to each student and wrote down what they told me their story was about.  One girl showed me her picture and said, "My story is about how my mom dresses up in scary costumes."  Hahaha I suppose maybe she was talking about Halloween but it sure was funny!  I sent it home ;)

New Crew

Surprisingly the first week of school was great!  Of course I forget each year how helpless the little Kindergarteners are when they first arrive.  They are everywhere except their seat, they cry when it's time to go home, they try claiming, "You are not my friend!" when someone does something they don't like...  Haha!  And here I go again, trying to make little independent, kind, thoughtful people.  I think I have a great group!  They are all eager to please and are like little sponges already, soaking up the knowledge.  I can't wait to dive into our curriculum because I think they are going to be a very bright crowd!  Good stories to come, I'm sure! :)
