I’m sick, super sick, but since I can’t afford to take time off work I have been suffering through it. Although it hasn’t been easy my students have been really sweet to me. Today during my 5th grade math class the group of boys who are normally a hand full were perfect little angels. At the end of the lesson I complemented them on their wonderful behavior, one of the boys replied, “It’s because we feel sorry for you today.” I couldn’t help but laugh, maybe being sick at work isn’t so bad.
Later on in the day I was teaching my 4th graders. By the end of the day my voice was pretty much gone and I was coughing a lot. One of the kids said I should drink some tea, I told him what I should really do is go home and go to bed. One of the girls screamed out, “No Ms. Tyler, don’t leave us!!” Although I feel horrible physically, it’s great to know my students appreciate me. (This picture was take last time I was sick, I was home in California and my little puppy would not leave my side for any reason. It was really cute but at the same time kind of annoying. Now as I lay in my bed I wish I had my baby by my side)
