aud’acious

Joe is in the back row smiling.  Sue in the front looks back and smiles.  They’re not always attentive but you should see them on the football field.  And then there is the scientist who’s not so talkative but gets things before everyone else.  Oh, and don’t forget the readers who can’t stand hardly ten minutes without sliding out a fantasy book.  One is a leader, another one really likes to smile.  Every time you see them, you can’t help but smile, too.  How could that not be a party every day??

They learn languages better when you make it fun anyway.  So is that the job description?  Playing to learn new things?  And we laugh and tell stories and move around.  Some of them I know very well.  They’ve been on camps or trips to the Middle East with me.  Maybe they’ve taken my class multiple years.

My favorite thing to hear is at Parent-Teacher Conference, like tonight, parents come and say, “This is my son or daughter’s favorite class.”  This class is helping them feel success or they want to work in it some day.  Sign me up for this activity or can I come to the club meeting?

After a 12 hour day of laughing and playing and learning together, I might be exhausted.  …and I am today.  But I love it.
