Loving My Students

I had no lesson plans today. Good thing this blog is private! Hopefully my boss will never discover this post :) I had so many other things to do that I just didn't have time to do lesson plans today so I just sort of flew by the seat of my pants as the saying goes.

And it was a great day. I can get away with not doing lesson plans once or twice in a two or three week period and still be alright. If I try to do it more than that I notice a real lack of focus in my classes and behavior problems increase. But thankfully today was not one of those days.

I had fun today. I really just enjoyed the day being with my students. And I felt a really great love for them. It was strange. I have not really felt that sort of overwhelming love for my students in a while. I felt it quite often last year, but it has just not come as much this year. I attribute that to the fact that I am pregnant and completely preoccupied with other things. But today was a day where I just loved my students. And we had a wonderful day together. It was fun. We just did fun things together.

Sometimes life is like that. You need to abandon your plans (or in my case not have any) and just enjoy life for a while and have fun. You can't live like that, but every now and then it is healthy and good.

I just wanted to document a day on my blog where I was completely loving my students instead of being frustrated and frazzled by them. I will sure miss them when they go.
