Thinking back on what a brilliant day I had today. I just began work as a fifth grade TA and you should have seen the kids' faces when I got to tell them I not only do Living History, but I get to play pirates! It was perfect! Then I proceeded to take a nose dive on the play ground in front of all of them and thought, geeze I might as well go home now and never come back. Instead they all came running over to help and once I was on my feet again, another teacher came over and said "That was amazing! I have never even seen them help each other. You must have made quite an impression on them to have them worry about you so much to come and help. They really like you."
Well, not every day you get a pirate for your new teacher.... Now to just stay on my feet... duh...
