Kids Say the Sweetest Things

I finished my first week of school today in Spartyville.  I have to say, this job is great.  Who knew I liked to teach middle school choir?  The kids, for the most part, have been really great and fun to get to know.  The music staff are awesome - I really feel like I'm part of a team already.  My principal is supportive and is really working to help all the faculty in whatever they may need, which is something that you don't always get!  I think I'm winning the kids over as well, as documented by two incidents today:

Cute Girl #1 - 6th grade music student:  "Mrs. Mondelli, you sure are pretty and nice."  

Adorable Boys #1 and #2 - 7th grade music students in homeroom (overheard by another music teacher):  "Mrs. Mondelli seems pretty cool, she's nice - a LOT nicer than the other guy who was here last year."

What a way to make a new teacher feel great after her first week!
