Happy Birthday to me!

When I got to school this morning, my cooperating teaching had gotten me a card and a little goody bag with some teachery sticky notes, some body spray in pear flavor, and a little pencil holder for my desk! That was so sweet of her.

The day went on without much incident, but the children were being nicer than usual. I can handle that! I wish they would do that every day! Then, my teacher had me go out to her car with 3 helpers to get some soda for the Accelerated Reading/Math program, and when we came back, everyone was gone, and all of the lights were off in the room. Where'd they go?? And all of the sudden, "SURPRISE!!!!"

Oh, it was the best thing ever! I've never had a surprise party before, and I wasn't even expecting it! I guess while she was teaching science and I was making some copies for her, she and the class got together to plan it, along with them all signing a card for me! And they kept it a secret all day long. I was very impressed with them!

Today was easily the best day with the 4th graders so far!

aww.. that's so sweet of your students and teacher to do that for you :) I like surprise parties.. especially when you're not expecting them.. I had one for my sweet 16 birthday, and it was funny because my mom wanted a picture of my surprised face, but she thought her camera didn't work the first time, so I had to act surprised for a 2nd and a 3rd time! :) heh.

anyway, glad you had a good birthday :) Sorry I'm so late in wishing you a happy birthday...
