What is that?!?!?!?!

It must be a full moon.  In our writing block today myself and my ESOL teacher both had it up to here.  (Just imagine, lol).  Something about the kids that was just not working out.  We would tell them to do one thing and they will do another.  One student was writing a story about a pig.  She was told to draw a picture of her animal.  Why did she draw a butterfly????? Why, why, why????   I asked another student what does a dog look like?  He said a gorilla......  Why, why, Why?!?!?!?  Sometimes I want to have a tantrum, lol.

But the end of the day trumped the beginning.  So we are writing a response to literature.  I passed out paper.  No later than 10 minutes later I called the students up to turn in their paper.  One student brought his paper with some brownish green substance on it.

Me:  "What is this on your paper?"
Student: "Huh?"
Me:  "Throw it in the trash"
At the same time, I smelled something GOD awful.  He walked away kinda funky.  I saw that same brownish green substance stuck to the back of his pants.  Ok, I almost hurled, lol.  Thank goodness it was dismissal time.  As the kids left, I had to pull out the lysol and spray down every surface in the classroom.  I just wasn't sure what he had touched.

These are truly the JOYS of teaching kindergarten.  Welcome to my world.

Our week

On Monday, one of my students threw up on the table while sitting in her seat. She just sat there in it. When I told her to go to the nurse, she gets up & there is vomit dripping from her forearms. YUCK! Then another day one of the kids farted as loud as a grown ass MAN. I tried to ignore it but of course the other kids made a BIG deal about it. Then the little joker kept farting. YUCK! So during writing, one of my kids wrote:  "jfgeesc has". He came up to me extremely exited. Student: Mrs. Reid I can read my sentence! Mrs. Reid: Okay, sweetie read it to me. Student:  "I can blow your house". Mrs. Reid: Wow! That is awesome. You are doing such a great job working today. I wasn't lying. It's hard for this student to do anything. That was great for him. Last thing: I was listening to the kids talk. So there is a really smart kid who has a slight speech impediment. So he said: "Hey Minny"! She said: "My name is MILLY"! (with an...

It's Summer Time

It's the summer time and I have once again bit off more than I can chew!  I signed up to get my Masters in Early Childhood Education.  For some reason I thought I was superwoman.  I have a new baby and I am a full-time graduate student.  It is difficult because I spend all day trying to complete my assignments and tend to my baby and my 10 year old.  I am so sorry I did this to my children.  I figured this will help the family in the long run but I am drowning.  What will I do when I start work?  I will not have time to sleep.  What have I done?

Hello

I haven't posted in a while. Well we were too busy testing ALL week. Why are we testing in Kindergarten? I don't know but it is depressing. Why? Well, you think you are a good teacher until your kids are tested on what they have been taught.  Some of the answers they chose was so disappointing. A lot of them don't think first about what they are asked to do on the problems. My kids think everything is subtraction since that was our last major math concept we learned. We aren't even on subtraction any more.  When we were actually doing subtraction they were adding everything, lol. Ey yah eyy Well, it is Spring Break for Mrs. Reid's kindergarten class. I will post again in 2 weeks. Until then, enjoy.
