4th Graders are FREAKING ADORABLE.

So.. I've been in my second cohort (basically pre-student teaching) for the past week and a half in a 4th grade class in Heber. And can I just say, those kids are seriously... great. Love them.

Some favorite quotes/times:

- On the first day, lining up for dance practice, a girl, "This, is where we have to go, and we have to hold hands. Uuuuuuugggghhh." *and then said girl, along with the rest of the class blushes and giggles for said holding of hands.* Muahahaha! :)

- The two boys who were REALLY excited to be MY dance partner when there were an uneven number of boys and girls.

- How hard they work to earn lunch with me and my partner, and then proceed to ask us a million questions, including the all-important "What is your first name?"

- The kids giggling when the teacher said "Johnny is hot" (in reference to hot lunch). Hahaha. I'm so immature.

- The cute kids why say "what can I do to help you?"

- Playing the Dam game.

- Dairy Keen. (Not a typo. Delicious!)

- Watching the spark of learning happening. :)

I'm sure this list will just keep going on...

And then its Tuesday

And I'm much more well rested

and I get cinnamon rolls in class

and I get excited for my future career

and someone calls me "beautiful girl"

and I see someone else in the hall

and find out he just fell asleep, that was all.

And then I get to take a nap

and watch my favorite show(s)

and get some homework done

and eat another piece of bread

and go on a really awesome date

and hear men sing notes I didn't think were humanly possible

and hear amazing, beautiful, artistic, fun music

and hold hands the whole time (I'm obsessed with that.)

And then spend more time together

and laugh

and have a hard time saying goodbye

and saying "I'll see you tomorrow"

and making jokes, but not really

and one more of those, please

and remembering that everything's good

and yesterday was just Monday.
