I wish someone would design a decent A/C system that would keep both attached classrooms equally cool or warm. No such luck.
This assignment is really kicking my butt and because of a few "events" that have happened in the past days, I am worn out. I thought I would share a few tidbits from my "experience" so far.
1. Believe it or not, a marble WILL fit inside a first graders nose.
2. If you have gummy bears, kids will jump through hoops.
3. When the teacher steps on dog poo, the students automatically get extra recess. To quote one of the boys, "You're the best teacher ever!", as I stood there with an icky shoe.
4. You can't let a first grader see you sweat.
5. Never put your child's mental health survey in the hands of stranger. To clarify, a parent expected me to fill out a questionnaire to help a therapist determine her son's level of ADD. I knew the child for less than 9 days. It would have been completely irresponsible and a disservice to the child's mental heath if I had done it.
6. Little kids have BIG hearts.
Pray for my speedy recovery because I can't think straight anymore. :-)
