Kindergarten
« on: September 13, 2004, 06:52:45 PM »
Huzzah I'm a teacher.

Well, not officially.  But two weeks of teaching kindergarten kids (at the beginning of the year, no less) will make it seem like it's been a full year.  The teacher I'm subbing for came down with pnuemonia and will be in intensive care for the next few days, then will need a couple of weeks to "recover".  So there's a huge chance I'll be here for the two weeks and possibly longer!

Today was a short day for most kids, so I come to school thinking "Cool, short day, no P.M. class.  I'll be home in time for lunch!"  Not so.  Apparently, when this school has a "short day" the AM Kindergarten stays the WHOLE TIME!          blah.  Needless to say it was hectic cause the kids were there longer than usual and started to get antsy by the end.

Good luck and lots of patience, Tekiel! Having lived through one kindergartner (and another one coming up next year) I can't imagine dealing with a whole class of them.

If a tall, buff man with an Austrian accent, a concealed weapon, and a propensity toward politics shows up, don't trust him.  He's really an undercover cop.

Either that, or an evil android from the future.
