So the cats out of the bag and I told my students that Baby is due in July...

Most had already suspected because I had been so sick with no “real illness.”

I’m so thankful to be honest about it. I teach 6th grade and was nervous about how they would react, but they’ve been so helpful! I’ll grab a snack and they’ll say things like “Oh! Is baby hungry??” Or I’ll have to discipline a student or I’d get frustrated with one of them and someone might look at me really worried and say something like “Be careful about the stress, Mrs. It can’t be good for baby...” then the rest of the kids will calm down in response.

SO thankful! Best classroom management technique! Lol.

But this semester has started rocky with our administration expectations being so unreasonable, so I’m that much more thankful for students who care.
