We were planting grass seeds this week and, each time, I would ask the students what they thought the seeds would grow into. That will cost me a hug!” and proceeded to give me a squeeze around the waist. A little boy came up to me, piped up “It’s mine. One day this week, I picked up a jacket on the floor and asked who it belonged to. My co-op teacher has a common saying of “That will cost you a hug” if a student forgets to put something away or needs assistance. We’re still best friends, right?” Too cute!
However, I was touched to see that he was hugging his peer and apologizing of his own accord, whispering “I’m sorry. A few seconds later, I was frustrated to see him again with his hands all over the other student. I reminded him to stay in his own personal bubble, and he obliged.
One sweet student who has trouble keeping his hands to himself was grabbing at a classmate during whole class instruction at the story corner. Here are a few heart melting moments thus far: There is something indescribably magical and precious about this age that I have not experienced in other grades. My co-op teacher said to me this week, “You’re not going to be the same after being in Kindergarten, are you?” and she is absolutely right! The kids are so sweet, loving, eager, curious, smart, and adorable. It is scarily easy to get attached to these kids. Another week in the books! I can’t believe that I am already 1/4 done my internship! It makes me sad already to think about leaving my lovely little group of students.
