We are
here! Where is here you ask? Well it’s the end of the first week of school,
where experienced teachers can relax, and inexperienced teachers head home and
change everything so that maybe next week it’ll be better.
Honestly I
have no clue what teachers do on the weekend, maybe they recount the different
stories they heard. Go over the things that happened in their classes like this
one.
First day
of class with 1st grade:
Student: “Do
you have a trash can?”
Me: “Yes I
do, but you can just put it in my hand.” (I reach out my hand to the student)
Student:
(as he starts to put something into my hand) “It won’t come off!” (I look down
in horror to see that the student is wiping a rather large booger into my open
palm)
Needless to
say I let the class start working on the next task at hand and I nonchalantly
walked over to my desk grabbed a tissue, wiped my hand and then covered both
hands in Germex.
For that I received
the award “Best First Day Story” from my coworkers and friends.
Another
story, less gross:
Students: “Where
do you live?”
Me: “Why do
you ask?”
Students: “The
closet isn’t big enough for a bed.”
Me: “Yes it
is, there’s a bed in there right now.”
Students: “Can
we see?!”
Me: “No, I forgot
to make it this morning, so it’s really messy.”
My students
now believe that I live at school. Whoops…
I teach
Pre-K as well, so little little kids, note to self, don’t ask pre-k students to
stand in a line when they don’t even know what a line is.
Unfortunately
I do not have any pictures for you this time around, so I hope that the fun
stories can suffice.
