30

I learned...that even though they seem so big and mature, they truly are 6 years old and that a simple fall or a hurt feelings can make them cry and remind you they are only 6.

Something great that happened was...I designed and implemented a rhyming bingo game with Malachi and it worked fantastically!

Something challenging that happened was...Shane and Max having a little war of words which resulted in Shane in tears and Max saying they weren't friends anymore.

A question I have is...how do you, as a teacher, deal with "I'm not friends with you anymore" situations? How does one conflict negotiate?

I wonder about...how teachers teach in the Pacific NW where it rains all the time and I bet recess is rare...kuddos to them!
