i look just like my mama

hey just a heads up if i follow you and you sb and i follow you again it isn’t because i disrespect you it’s because i forgot if i actually followed you or just thought really hard about it. and you can tell me directly to fuck off and i won’t be mad

#happening to me rn </3 my mind like a steel colander

i’m like a bug and you can find me at the end of sentences sometimes

#i can’t remember the last time someone drew me. this is really truly what i look like #it’s awesome & i’ll never forget it

this week i’m having the kids journal during their small groups about something they want to learn to do because it ties into the repeated read aloud from last week & because i wanna know. among other reasons. today the example i modeled was “i want to learn how to sing loud”. one of the girls in the group copied my idea (which is ok, i am not dragging her for it) & drew a very nice picture of herself singing. when she was writing i heard her sounding out the words so i was like ok cool she doesn’t need much guidance. but when she handed me the paper what i got was

the letters “U LAME U” punctuated by a very small picture of Me

#she did not do this on purpose & i hope she keeps this forever #i also don’t correct them on letters unless they directly ask me bc the point rn is mostly to practice connecting writing to meaning #so sounding it out is a good step even if they come to the wrong conclusion. and write ‘U LAME U’#i’m writing what they meant to write on the back in case they or their adults want to read it later

the kids at work are being really cute and they’re doing it on purpose to make me cry when school lets out

one of the kids was having a hard time with the capital letters H and I. i wrote them out for him so he could see them side by side. asked him if he wanted to learn how to write “hi” and he did. & when he was done he said “it’s like you said hi to me and i said hi to you back :)”
