Mrs. Champion's the name, teachin' is the game.

My cute friend Suzi wanted to see my classroom and I realized I had no pictures of it! Sadness. Because I have tried really hard to make my little classroom cave happy and fun. There is also a picture of Owen, which is not part of my class, but equally cute and bloggable. I only have 8 weeks left until I have completed the dreaded first year. Here are my favorites about teaching:

1. Getting sticky little notes and hugs.
2. Seeing them improve and being proud of it.
3. Listening to their growing up stories.

Quotes:

• "You are so kind. No man-eating animal would ever eat you."
• "I got a number from a girl at the mall with a mullet."
• "Mrs. Champion, I wish you were my mommy."
• "Will you be my teacher forever?"
• "Sorry I couldn't answer you earlier. I had a huge mucous ball in my mouth."

Least favorite things: Dodging the huge booger my student flicked during gym.
