2 months, and i still like my job. yay!

as it turns out, i'm not too crappy of a kindergarten teacher after all. of course, every day is an incredible learning experience. i teach the exact same stuff to two different classes of kids every morning, which means the second class always gets the better deal, of course. for example, in class one i learn that if you want them to pay attention, you can't give them their pencils before they read the instructions, so class two actually reads the instructions and does the worksheet correctly, etc. however, a few weeks ago, i was waiting to get a new set of books for my youngest class and had to wing it the first three days. turns out the three activities i made up on the fly were the exact, exact same three activities that the workbook had, when i finally got them for my class. that made me feel really good. so good in fact, that i learned to use the laminater and made a sign reminding the kids of the correct structure of the english sentence for asking how to spell a word ("how spell = wrong" "how do you spell = right") as well as this science gem:



if anyone asks why you can put your finger through jello or if pudding is a solid or a liquid, they're getting sent to the hallway.
