So the day started out with a writing prompt then we got to celebrate Chinese New Year! One of the girls in our class was adopted from China and she, every year, shares this 2-week celebration with her class. Her mom brought in posters for us to copy, books for us to read, dragon puppets for us to model making, and the best part, food for us to eat! All of these awesome things to bring us good luck in this, the year of the dragon! Now being a dragon in the year of the dragon, as I am, is supposedly awesomely great good luck so I’m thinking positively and thinking this will be an awesome year for me! I hope that this year brings all of you good luck as well!
We then went to recess where I proceeded to play 4-square with some of my boys from math and they LOVED IT! We had a blast and I think I’ve almost gotten the hang of this wild game… that is, assuming tomorrow they don’t change the rules on me … Which who knows, they probably will. I came back from recess feeling pumped for math, a little sweaty but overall happy. This is where things went downhill. The boy in my math class, let’s call him George, is a patience tester. I often ask god for more patience to deal with this child but I think today I lost it. He knows when he is doing something wrong and then pushes past that level. He refuses to acknowledge my authority despite my doing everything Trevor says I need to and to be totally honest I’m exhausted by him. I just continue to hope that everyday he will suddenly surprise me and be different.
