The New Year - A Breakdown


18 kids (so nice!)
12 boys
6 girls
1 set of twins (not quite identical but still tricky this early in the year)
5 languages - I think. Maybe 4. Maybe 6.
3 newcomers (students who speak little - no English)
3 boys who can't stop talking
2 girls who have (maybe) said ten words to me in the last three days
0 referrals written so far

2 favorite comments this year -
"You're like pretty." (I tell myself she meant to say "like, you're pretty" not "you're not quite pretty - but similar to pretty")
"Did we impress you? I knew it! We impressed you" (from a six year old boy)

  1. Sounds like the start of a good year. Hopefully a year with a lot less problems and strange issues than last year.

  2. I can't wait to hear what else your students come up with! And let me know when you can tell the twins apart.

  4. I knew it! We impressed you! That is hilarious :)
