My First Silly Band

Hooray! I am back to working today!

I was happy this morning to get called to my favorite school, for a teacher who I've subbed for frequently over the past few years, to a group of second graders who I've known since kindergarten! In fact, some of them were adamant that I had subbed in their class last year even though I'm pretty sure I hadn't. I guess it is a cool thing to say Miss Barnes has subbed in your class every year. :)

It was a lovely, delightful day.

Even had another teacher come down and ask me if I wanted to sub for her on Wednesday afternoon!

Yay.

I also discovered today the great popularity of silly bands! At least half of the kids had dozens and dozens of bands on their wrist and during free time they would take them off, show them and trade them with other kids. One girl gave me one. It is shaped like a fashionable boot and it is pinkish-purple. I put it on my wrist and she was very pleased to have been the one who gave it to me. The rest of the kids laughed when I exclaimed, "Now I have one just like all of you!"

I'm so happy that you had such a great day. How neat that you got back into the swing of it with your favorite school. I can imagine it would be very cool to have Miss Barnes be your teacher. Love you!!! MOM

I'll tell Tith that you have a silly band too, he'll like that. He has a couple that he got from school, and I think from Erin's last birthday party. He loves them.
