Last week I was finally able to let my little second graders know about my big news. I told the kids that it was time for a writing activity. I heard a few moans and groans and then the fun began. They began copying the letter I was writing on the overhead. Now second graders write at different speeds. Some write extremely slow and others write super fast. As some of them got to the sentence, "I've got great news...my teacher is having a baby!" I heard the following"
"What?"
"Mrs. Mihalek's got something growing in her tummy?"
"Are you kidding?"
"You're having a baby?"
"Who is going to be our teacher for the rest of the year?"
"You mean you're not leaving us? You're our teacher for the rest of the year? Are you sure?"
"My mom got really fat when she had my brother!"
"Can I still hug you or will I hurt the baby?"
I wish I had a video camera of all of their reactions. I started crying because I was laughing so hard. They couldn't believe it! I explained to them that I will be here the whole year. That didn't make a couple of kids happy. The rest were pretty excited. It's going to be a fun rest of the year. I just pray for health, energy, and patience!

That is so cute! Kids are so honest aren't they? Sometimes a little too honest. So excited for you guys!
Love you!
So precious. Just wait until your little one starts saying the cutest things. I will melt your heart a million times more.
I am praying for your little one and for your continued energy through the holidays! Miss you!
Can't wait to see you after break. I am looking forward to seeing my friends; but dreading not seeing my Hadleigh as often. Chatting with you will help me get through the days! Thanks for your friendship!
love,
amie
