I enjoyed reading that! I too have been teaching 7 and 8 year olds lately ( I used to teach high school). The other day I had a class (as a casual). I was told i was "child friendly" :)) Did they think I was a power point ? or some other objects. Was cute though and meant well:)
I love your class! They are too cute for words. Tell little O that can marry someone
It's obvious that they enjoy you as much as you enjoy them!
Oh my word! So much fun listening in on what the kids say... they are so funny!
These are so funny!! "I'll have what she's having"...omg! I just watched When Harry Met Sally with my girls. :)
Lol! Loved these... especially the cheeky little one who reminded you of your age!
