FIELDTRIP!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Hello everyone and what a whirlwind. 7 weeks have already passed, the first unit is over and it's October! This past week has been so much fun, we went to Cox Farms and carved a class pumpkin. Part of their incentive to behave well is that they get a certain amount of candy for the color they end up on as well  this month, so it's been a real party. :) I'm learning that being a teacher is exhausting and taking care of yourself is really important. For example, you can't just cut out sleep and healthy food and think your going to feel great. You won't. This past week I decided to go and get some food, I grabbed random stuff.  A soda, some chips and candy to snack on. As I'm eating my chips during lunch, a couple of my kids came up to me. "Ms. Boatwright you know you're eating junk right?", "Ms. Boatwright if you eat too much junk your stomache is going to hurt". Sure, sure kids (I thought to myself) that's what your parents tell you. But really it's fine. It is not fine. When all you give your body to eat is junk, you feel like junk. Spent the rest of the day with a massive headache and overwhelming nausea. Moral of the story- eat healthy and listen to the children. They know.
