Fantabulous Friday!

So today was just amazing! I truly felt like an actual teacher, like I belonged. As soon as I walked into school everybody is just smiling and saying goodmorning and wishing me a good day! I get into my class and my teacher lady is all talkative and all...All is good. Right before lunch (during conference time) another one of the teachers comes and asks if I could possibly run out and get us all lunch...or take over her class while she runs out and gets us lunch. So I say, "Oh I'll go..it's ok" They all start laughing and saying, "she might be new but BOY does she learn fast!" So I went out and took a new way to town and actually found a SHORTCUT!! During lunch today or yesterday they (the teachers) were talking about how long I've already been there, and they can't believe it's almost over! They start talking about who's leaving so I can possibly stay :) Talk about making me feel special... I am absolutely loving my student teaching and don't really want it to end...I know that I'm still continuing on in it and still have 7 weeks with another teacher, but I'm really loving my time here with this teacher, and these students, and this school! I don't want to leave, they have such excitement for their school, I guess you call it school spirit...It's awesome! When I was going for lunch all the students started asking, "Are you leaving? Why?" I had to tell them that I would be right back. Then when lunch was over the teacher went to go pick them up from the caf while I was putting some stuff away in the room, and they were asking her "Where's Miss Valencia? Did she leave? Where is she?" It just made me think how attached they've gotten to me...and me to them. I dunno what I'm gonna do when it's time to leave...
