my conclusion: i managed a lot of naughty children today.
this morning after picking up the kids from p.e. i noticed Maeve and Maddie both standing at opposite ends of the line with their arms crossed and eyes staring at the floor. little did i know that there had been a fight over a jump rope during p.e. and Maeve was refusing to talk to Maddie. matters which brought both of the girls out of the line so they could have an opportunity to deliver 'i-messages' to one another. 'i'm sorry for not sharing. i would like it if you could use words to tell me how you feel.'
shortly after MariaEster comes to my side and says, 'Miss Conlee Harun told me he was going to shove my face in the water fountain and then he called me a dimwit.' Harun and i had a nice chat about kind words and being a kid of character.
nearly 2 minutes later L.B. comes to my side and says, 'Miss Conlee Harun won't share his pillow with me and after i asked him nicely he told me he was going to flush my head in the toilet.' once more Haurn and i had a nice chat.
lunch duty resulted in catching many students prior to the act of doing something naughty, usually involving the launch of a food item.
embracing all aspects of teaching as i dig into my inner child and remember my days in elementary school. naughty. dramatic. and child-like.
welcome all of you, career of mine.
