i teach 7-8 year olds. i believe in love and family. music, art, vintage, garage sales, summer are my simple pleasures. favorite books are the ones that make me think. favorite movies are the ones that make me cry. i believe in sincerity, kindness, and the goodness in others. creating and making beauty in simple ways are the joys of life.
14. spending time with my brother ben. i am so lucky to have the brothers that i do. rough day yesterday but by the end it was a great day. felt SO SO good to let me be me.
13. sweet ethan from my class....balled his eyes out today because he changed his card and kept telling me how sorry he was and how he felt bad. he even gave me a few hugs. i knew he felt really bad. i reasurred him that i was not mad, that he was a good boy, and that i loved him. he said thank you miss rosell. he calmed down and was fine the rest of the day. my aid dawna said she admired that i held my ground. its not hard when you know what will happen if you dont and especially when you know it is what is best for him. i sure do love that boy.
