Do You Have a Mom?

I would first like to start out by saying that I had a great day :) I feel like this are much easier to come by lately. Bailey and I worked together all day long and it was terrific. We started a new book in our reading class, Helen Keller, but this time we read as a class which surprisingly did not bother Bailey. He even answered a question. It's funny how the little things he does excite me. After we read with the class we worked on our spelling words. Together we made flash cards and put them in alphabetical order. I'll have you know Bailey has the advanced spelling list and he didn't have to look up to spell not even one of the words while I read them. I had to ask him for a writing piece today and although he was a little hesitant he had no problem handing it over when I told him that I would be sharing how smart he was with my class. While he was getting his paper we had a little conversation:

B: Do you have a mom?

Me: Yes Bailey I do.

B: What's her name?

Me: her name is Velma.

(He pauses and looks up at me with his big brown eyes)

B: Wow what a beautiful name!

Of course I called my mother after class and let her about the compliment she received from my buddy. Gheeze that kid can really make my week. I cannot believe that we only have a few more classes together. Breaks my heart. Speaking of only a few classes, today in class we analyzed our student's artwork and our pictures. I thought this was a lot of fun. The best picture was definitely the picture of Jordan's cat story. It caused a lot of controversy, but we all seemed to agree that what her neighbor was doing was just plain cruel. I am still hopping we can take a field trip to protest outside of her house :)
