Today at school we had a kickball tournament. I have about sixteen boys in my class and only four girls. Can I just say, I love teaching boys! There is something about them that is just so much easier to work with. I think it's the lack of estrogen. (I love my girls too, I'm just glad there are not as many of them)
Anyway, I told them that I didn't care if they won the tournament, but that I wanted to them to play as a team and have great sportsmanship--and they did! They were not great, they went 2 and 2, but they held their heads high and congratulated every team they played, even when that team was bad mouthing them as they left the field. In short, they ROCKED!
I love days like this. I get more and more attached to my students when we have fun days like this.
I believe a nice reward breakfast is in store next week.

It's days like playing kickball all day, that would make me think I had a pretty great job. How interesting that you have so many boys. I always think of you as exclusively girls. Things have changed in your classroom over the years.
