O...M...G...

So, my first year of teaching has been a piece of cake so far. I had 4 kids in the morning, 3 left at 11, and 1 stayed with my aide until 2:30. Wonderful! I had planning time from 11-when ever. I was leaving at 3:30 on the dot because everything was finished. I even VOLUNTEERED for 3rd grade math tutoring.

All of that is changing. . .

I still have my 4 kids in the morning and 1 of those that stays until 2:30. I have added another 3 year old on Tuesday (her 3rd bday), will get a 3 year old on Tuesday, a 4 year old on Thursday and twin 3 year olds in the next week. That does not include the 3 new kiddos that they are currently evaluating (2 of which will definately come). Without the new ones that are being evaluating, that makes 9! I am freaking out! I can handle it, but it is definately stressing me out!

Conversation with a 4 year old.

Today, I was in a PK classroom playing with the kids in the home center. One kiddo told me I was the mom, so I was sitting rocking the doll. Another boy comes up, and we have this conversation:

Child: You can be the Grandma now!
Me: What? I don't want to be the Grandma. Why should I be the Grandma?
Child: No, no, it's OK, you will be the skinny Grandma.
Me: Well, as long as I am the skinny one, I will be Grandma.


Love it.

New Hair

I have been wanting a new haircut since my last one in November. I hadn't made up my mind in November, so I had her trim my hair, and I was disappointed right away. I went tonight, and gave her some so-so ideas, and it turned out GREAT!!! I love it. It is exactly what I wanted! If you need a great person, let me know!
