It's not easy for me to be at a social gathering where I know next to no one. It's even harder at 7:30 a.m. Even more so on two hours of sleep.
But I was a good girl and went to K's school's volunteer appreciation breakfast (I work with the kids in his class on reading every Thursday). I now have a nifty little pin to show for my efforts.
I was just thinking yesterday how much more I like working in K's class than with my literature group in D's class. The kindergartners and first-graders are excited about reading... the third graders are jaded. Being cool is really important, and being excited about reading is not cool, at least with the little boys I work with. Sad, really.
