Next week is spring break for the public schools. . .the kids were ready for it, teachers were ready for it, I am ready for it! :)
Today, we worked hard in the morning, and then created things and had an easter egg hunt in the afternoon. Here are some of the creations we did:
We created ducks/chickens making their hands their wings. They had to help Daisy Duck how to show in two ways $1.56 using dollars, quarters, dimes, nickles, and pennies. Oh, they went crazy! They loved it!
Then, we created bunnies were they could place their easter egg:
It was fun to see their personalities being portrayed in their bunny creation.
I've learned that first graders need a lot more help doing things. That there is a lot more prep time for activities like these for six year old children. And that Daisy Duck has magical powers to become a rockstar.
After talking with my cooperative teacher after school about the upcoming units I am teaching when we return from spring break: Earth Day thematic unit, Lady in the Moon for Reading, Money for math, and Adjective for Writing; I got in the bus, got my sandwich (it was 4, and I still hadn't had lunch. . .ufta), and I could only thank God for His faithfulness and His strength. He definitely gave me what I needed this week. As I invited Him into my day in the mornings, He was and is there when I wake up, as I travel, as I enter my class, as I see each of my students, as I confront discipline, as I leave the room, as I meet random people in the bus, as I write lesson plans, as I read His Word, as I got to bed . . . He is with me every single minute. He is Emmanuel.
So, I cleaned my room, my good Paraguayan friend and her boyfriend are coming over this weekend (I'm stoked), I will go to Zavala's family for a few days to rest, and will take it easy in lesson planning. It will be a good week. The Good Lord knows the rest is needed.
He gives us what we need.
