The Best Lessons

During Math today, I assigned the kids a few pages in their Math Journals, and then told them that when they were finished, they could play Math games. While I was sitting there at my desk grading journals, I listened in while they played the games.

It was maybe the first time during this school year that I had just let them go and released all control to them to do their thing. Listening in on all of their interactions, all of their idle talk while playing these games, I was smiling to myself the whole time. So funny, so innocent, and so genuinely enjoyable to overhear. I thought, "I love my job."

Hope everyone has a great Friday and an even better weekend.
