We finished watching Sarah Plain and Tall this afternoon and they really liked it. We read it right before winter break and they found a lot of the differences between the book and the movie. I was so happy to be able to show them all the words we talked about: porch, overalls, prairie, squall, etc. It's nice to bring them to life.
And sometimes I look at them hard at work, squirming away, their faces all scrunched up and feel a wave of pride wash over me from head to toe - they are so little and they are so energetic and so full of personality and they do learn and they are growing emotionally, physically, mentally and socially. And they are my students - I spend 40 hours a week with them. I know what makes them laugh and smile, I know what makes them unhappy, I know what they love to do, what they hate, and so many of their quirks. It's a really special role.
