Sooooo today my students threw me a surprise baby shower! They had a few parents help them orchestrate of course but it was complete with decorations, favors, cake, punch and some very generous gifts. It was all I could do not to cry! AND how 30 ten year old managed to keep quiet about this for almost 2 weeks I will never understand!!! I am truly blessed!
Re: Surprise!
That's so cute!
And it's great that you had no idea, like you said, it's hard for a bunch of kids that young to keep secrets!
That's really sweet!
But, holy cow! You have 30 ten year-olds in the one class? Our Primary/Elementary class sizes are capped at 25 max, and a lot of people think that's too many. I had 24 last year and almost lost my mind.
You must be one helluva teacher to manage that.
Aww thanks! It's tough with so many bodies in one little room. We started the year with 31 plus an exchange student, but we're down to 30 now. There are 9 kids on the wait list for my grade level, so I will be at 30 all year no matter what. 25 kids would be AMAZING!!
