Good week back in Kindergarten.

I have a diva 5 year old who started singing Adele and Lady Antebelllum in class. We had a conversation about it:

“Gracie…are you singing Adele?!”

“uh huh, she is my favorite. Do you think at our next concert you can have me do a solo and I can sing an Adele song? And you could ask Adele to come sing with me on stage? I am a really good singer…”

“Well, we will see if we have another concert, okay?”

next day she was singing Lady Antebellum. I started singing along with her and the look on her face was priceless. “How do YOU know this song?!”

My autistic student (aka one of my favorites) decided to straddle my leg and bounce on it while yelling “giddy up!”. He did this in the middle of me reading a book. He got in trouble but I laughed a little first.

One of my other favorites always is upset about something. He is all attitude. It’s kind of hilarious. I can’t even explain him, but he says stuff like this every day:

“ohhh I NEVER get picked to come up to the board.”

“ohhhh I NEVER get picked to run in the relay” (even though I said a million times they would each have a turn).

“ohhhhh I NEVER get to win a prize” (I explained a million times how a raffle works).

“ohhh I NEVER get to buy lunch.”

“ohhhh I ALWAYS have to pay a ticket.”

“ohhh I NEVER get to see my mom.” (his mom teaches at our school).

The best part is when you remind him how none of this is true, he says “OKAY” in a sobbing voice, but continues to pout about it for 10 minutes.

When I tell Bible stories, they get SO into it. I told the story of Joseph this week and they had looks of utter terror when he was thrown into the pit. Literally gasping and hands on their faces. It’s the BEST.
