The Lord is Good!

All of you teachers out there will appreciate this...This week I had parent/teacher conferences and EVERYONE (yes that is approximately 54 students and their parents!) showed up except for the two that CALLED and said that they couldn't come and rescheduled! It was actually a pretty nice time, the kids came and showed their parents what they knew. I was able to get all but four done on one day because they came in groups! It rocked. Well, most of you will not appreciate this as much as me but I wanted to share. I was definitely in all of the miracle that they all showed up!!!! God is truly good!

Kindergarten Conversation

I was chatting with two of my kindergartners today in the hallway. Here is how part of the conversation went:
Student A says to teacher (that would be me): My bus driver gave me some candy the other day.
Student B says under his breath: I didn't get jack squat!
Teacher: Just about cracks up as she asks Student B what he said just to be sure. He had a hard time admitting what he said. I just thought it was hilarious!

I think I need to write a book! In fact I think I could write a book about what "Student B" says alone! He sure comes up with some good ones. Yes, he is the one who also asked if I use the bathroom sometimes. See, having 58 kindergartners really can be fun!

Apparently I'm not cool

Last Thursday night I was at my sister's for my usual night there of supper and Survivor. My two oldest nephews were lucky enough to be going to the Toby Mac/Jeremy Camp concert. As they were leaving I JOKINGLY told my 9 year old nephew that they were going to go "pump up some jam!" He looked at me and said, "Don't ever try to say anything cool again. Why don't you go google some things that are cool to say now?" After my shock and amazement, I did think it was pretty funny :). He and I have a good relationship so he wasn't just being a rude kid, but apparently I'm not too cool :)
