Sport's Day through the Eyes of my 2nd Graders

I took a picture of some of the drawings my students made for me on Sport's Day. They are so thoughtful and sooo cute!! In the morning the whole school had flag ceremony. The PE teacher had all the teachers go into a classroom during flag. He then proceeded to pump the kids up by telling them that there was a teacher who was a Motorcross Champion (which I'm totally not). He then called me on the walkie-talkie and I came out to the playground riding my dirtbike. I turned it off and stood by my bike waving to all the kids. I had my whole gear on, helmet, mask, boots and all. They couldn't tell it was me. Cory, the PE teacher, asked the kids if they thought I was Mr. Jones, and they all screamed yes. So he turned around to me and asked if I was Mr. Jones. I put my thumbs up and then kept going till they turned down. Mr. Jones then walked out of the room to the playground. Cory went through all the teachers the same way. Finally he turned to me and said, "Who are you?" I then took my helmet off and the whole school cheered. It was so awesome!!!! When the kids all started going back to their classrooms, my class stood by me and my dirtbike and got a picture. I think they really loved it that the teacher who rode the dirtbike was their very own Mrs. James. I have to give a huge thank you to my husband Jake. He helped me by getting my bike warmed up for me and then he rode the bike back so I could take my class to the classroom. He told me later that when he was following my class, he popped a wheely. I love him soooo much!!! Enjoy these drawings like I did!!!

This little girl, Lauren, asked me what the number on my bike was. I told her I didn't have one on it, but that my favorite number was 13. So cute!

When my class took a picture with me and my bike, instead of saying cheese, the teacher taking the pictures had them say "Mrs. James Rocks"! (My bike is really yellow, oh well.) It's also funny because my hair was really flipped out like that.

I love teaching!! It's so rewarding in little and big ways. When I get a copy of the real pictures, I'll definitely post them. For now, you'll have to use your imagination.
