Our Teacher's Having a Baby!

    Monday morning came and I was so anxious to tell everyone at school.  Everyone mostly found out throught Facebook. If you know anything about Facebook, you know it's the biggest gossip media ever! Anyhow, I chose to read a book called "My Teacher's Having a Baby" to my first graders.  The book is about a first grade class and it shares the changes to expect from the teacher such as a bigger belly or being absent from school.  After reading the book, I told them there was a reason that I shared this book with them because THEIR teacher was having a baby!  There eyes lit up and one child said "You mean you?"  It was so sweet!  One child even said, "Well, you're still skinny!"  Oh my! That was music to my ears! I was already beginning to look like I had ate too much turkey at Thanksgiving, so I was ready to hug that child! The next day, another student said "Whoa! You're really sticking out today!"  All I could do is laugh!  I can't wait to hear what they say in the days to come!
