It's a Writer's Apartment!

Today was a great day and to clear the air, last week was not a bad week it was just really interesting. Today I was assigned the child I was going to watch, when I say assigned I mean I picked him. I bet you can only guess who I picked...yep, Bailey! I just adore that child so much. When I have my own classroom I am really going to have to quit this favoritism business. The best part of the day was when Bailey was struggling to write. The brilliant and beautiful Megan was trying to help him, but her and Bailey just do not have that kind of brotherly connection like Bailey and I do so I had to kick her to the curb ;) As soon as I started to help Bailey he calmed down. He told me he wanted to sit under his desk to write. I did not see a problem with this as long as he wrote. He sprawled out under his desk and he had specific demands for the chair to be pushed in all the way. (I guess this was a privacy thing) Of course he told me I could come in so I did my best to lay right beside him. After he wrote a couple of sentences I told him that he had a Writer's Palace going on. He looked at me and said I don't like in a palace I live in an apartment, this is my Writer's Apartment and then he asked me to leave. Hahah that apartment king really did not like me insulting his place so I did what I was told. Later I came back and he had about half a page written. I was very proud of him. I am so excited to work with him. After my time with Bailey was over it was time to get back to Linda's class. Today was the best class we've had yet. I loved sharing my journal with Lauren and it was really nice to get to know her. I am looking forward to future conferences. The activites really kept me awake, heck I even chuckled during class. :) Good day and I am excited to work on the project!

  1. Brent- today was definitely the best day of field experience so far (even thought it was only our second time there). How adorable was the boy that we both worked with that was so quiet, but so adorable and worked really hard?!?! You're so good at working with Bailey- I'm glad he listens to you! Can't wait until next Wed:)
