who visits the pillow at night?

one exciting thing about working with first graders is that their teeth fall out! i honestly adore seeing their faces when it actually happens, and making the experience exciting rather than scary. i love it. today i was told by the little ones that a magic rat comes to their house and leaves Q's under their pillow. this magic rat's name is raton perez and i think he's adorable.

p.s., i'm going to be teaching kindergarten math next semester and i'm really excited!
