My best and worst

The best moments and there were so very many...my most favorite was Gabriel. He doesn't speak any English and never talks in class. I went in there and talked to him just like any of the other kids. The other students would say to me,"he doesn't speak English." I just love him and he knew it. The first week I was there I was working with him on a alphabet bingo. He held up a card and said "igloo" I about cried and said, yes igloo, where does it go. He proceeded to place the picture of the igloo on the letter I. He did all 12 alphabet cards and said all of the words to me in English. It was a moment I will never forget. The teacher couldn't believe it either...such a triumph!

Not too many worse moments, thank heavens. We have a little girl that gets very angry and shouts out at the teacher. She hasn't acted out for me yet, but I'm a bit nervous for the day that she maybe will. I am hopeful that I can let her feel loved by me to not need to act out. It is so hard seeing these children with issues. Breaks my heart, so that is one bad situation that makes me nervous.
