I Want My Kids!!!!

Thursday 3- 14- 13

Long story short. I am blessed. I am so glad that I got to be in my kindergarden group. Team teaching with Josh today? Insane. I am a totally different teacher than all these guys. My class is quiet and respectful before we do anything! But I have a feeling its because I am so used to teaching at the studio!  For heavens sake, I was appalled by not only how the kids acted but the fact that they could get away with it! Man, I had to fight back the impulse to demand push ups from them. I really couldn't believe it. One particular time, there was a student who was out of control in every sense of the word and was the catalyst of the chaos so I literally had to drag him out of the class while Josh tried to run the circus inside and I had him stand in the hall. His back up against the wall and with a prayer in my heart to some how get him to calm down I crossed my arms, stood there and stared at him... didn't say a word. Because if he cant understand my verbal language it didn't take a rocket scientist to understand my body language. At first, he stood there leaning up against the wall like nothing was happening but slowly after 30 seconds or so of me standing there not moving or saying anything he stood up and folded his arms and thats when I said “no more” and he repeated “no More” and I opened the door to the classroom, pointed to a chair and said “sit” and he sat.... for the rest of the class and didn't make a sound. That class went well after that. I just love my kids. I really really do. I went into the hall way after class and a little girl came up to me and touched my belly and said “teacher! Your baby?... what is it? Boy or girl?” :O so I looked at her and said “what is your baby?!” haha she said “Oh no!! no no no!!” and I said “same here sista! Go to lunch!” hahaha she just laughed and ran off... welp, there is a first time for everything I guess ;)
After classes were done I was so ready to just sleep. My emotions were so high from how crazy the class was! But, although every day may not be good there is good in every day. For example, I went to lunch and we got an apple! I love fruit so much. I always have but I mean I really love it now! Um, im going to miss chinese food. I really really like it! I think im gonna come back fat cuz I really can't get enough of it! What the heck is that about?! Well after lunch I spent my whole afternoon cutting out hearts for my ELE Lesson and making a little slide show for my kids of the pictures that mom sent me. The whole group went out running but I wanted to make sure that my lesson was 100% so I didn't have to worry, I wanted to add a craft to the lesson to make it fun so I cut out 50 hearts (2 classes of 25 each) and wrote “happy valentine's day” on them but I sorta fell asleep in the middle of it but just for a bit haha but then when I woke up I got the hearts done AND made a Birthday cake out of paper with little paper candles so that we can sing the birthday song when I talk about birthdays! By then the crew had come back and we were all talking in Ben and Joshes room when Alicia came in and told me that she found out earlier today that there are 3 classes not just 2 so I need to ad 25 more to my load... shoot. So I went back into my room to cut out and make more things for my students quickly because we were supposed to watch Psyche. We promised and Josh was not going to let it go! I got it done though and got all my stuff together and feel very prepared for tomorrow. Psyche (its a TV show btw) wasn’t that bad, its actually pretty funny but I am ready to sleep so after the first episode I fell out and I am ready to get some shut eye! Super excited for my ELE classes tomorrow!
