Last month I started student teaching in the same 7th grade, language arts and social studies classroom that I was in before winter break. It is SO much fun but SO much work. I get to school around 6:45 and don't leave until about 5.  Here are some of my favorite moments of teaching so far:

- I had decided to paint my nails this dark brown color with sparkles. I was helping a kid write something when he asked me, "Jeez Ms. Keeton, are you going goth?!" I replied that, "no, I am not going goth, this is a very cool color."

- I was explaining a project to a class and a smarty pants kid told me it was a "corny" project. So I told him he was "corny." He stopped complaining. (He actually really liked the project)

- Yesterday, I started having a class start line up outside the classroom before I let them in because some students think it's acceptable to run around the classroom and tackle their friends to the floor before finally sitting down at their desks. I was explaining this new routine and the reason behind it to these students when I heard a certain student say, "I hate Ms. Keeton."  It was quite humorous.
