Sorry to disappoint, but no kid rants today. I’m sick of
them. The kids are cute, but they have been so stinking naughty this week. It’s
homecoming week and they have been out of sorts the whole time. I’m done. Mean
teacher Jayna had to keep 5 kids in from their recess today (that's my free time too). It’s been 10 weeks
and we are still reteaching behavior expectations. Cool.
I know that Friday is the favorite day of the week for most
people, but it might be one of my least favorites. I am always checked out by
Friday and the kids are too. Which means they are naughty (-er) and that I have
to be strict (-er). Which I hate.
So Fridays are not my favorite days. I actually kind of like Mondays. Thursdays
are nice too :).
Summary from the teacher lady: day 5.
Watch your mouth. Today for lunch, we had a pot luck in
honor of one of the Kindergarten teachers. Naturally, when there is food, all
sorts of people show up. Anyone who ever has to work in our building, even for
an hour a week, is present on each pot luck day. (Imagine that.) I already
mentioned that the kids have been rowdy today. That is true for the whole
school. So during lunch, a few comments were made about how naughty the kids
were/are. The opportunity for speaking badly of individual children’s behavior
was ripe. However, one of the people who showed up for lunch today happens to
be a MOTHER of one of the students. (What a sly, sly, fox with big open ears.) Luckily,
nothing was said about individual students, and the parent had no insight to
which kids drive the teacher NUTS. But still, the potential for a bad situation
was real, and as the student teacher, I was completely unaware until after the
fact. I had no idea that the random bonus woman was a mother to one of the
students. So the lesson is, watch your mouth and be careful who you trust with
information about your students. It has unlimited potential to backfire.
That’s all for this week folks, I’ve got big sports plans
for tomorrow (including BCU, vb, xc, and fb and USD fb too!) and big study
plans for Sunday (Praxis II=death).
Until Monday…
Peace, love, and interactions with people outside of 2nd
grade,
Jayna
