i don't know what to title this post.
these past two weeks haven't been great, but i came home today after an OK day and thought to myself, i love these kids.

they work my nerves--they know exactly how to--but i love them.

i was frustrated with them one day this week and i told them, i love you guys and you guys all know it and-- and then one of my students interrupted me to say ms b, we know you love us, we love you!

and even though i was frustrated at that moment, i was also smiling.
