Twas the week before Christmas and all through the school, every child went crazy as I tried to keep cool...
I'd like to say it has only been the past week that has been chaotic, but really, it has been the past two. Between Holiday Hutch (Santa Shop) and Christmas parties it has been a cute and crazy time!
It all started as I realized the children have suddenly started to call me Miss. Kathy instead of the usual "Teacher!" or "Miss. Cawabreeze". I am not sure how or why this happened.
A 5 year old asked me if I was on Snapchat. She also asked if I watched Netflix and asked if we could play Snapchat together sometime.
Another preschooler asked if Santa was real...I will ALWAYS reply yes to this answer and my heart cried for the non-believers.
I was dubbed the "fun teacher" and discovered this is a blessing and a curse.
Indoor recess is a zoo, circus, and wrestling match combined.
A preschool boy told me a lovely story about how his bathroom is broken because he pooped and now he needs a plumber. All the other students heard this an exclaimed that they all have plumbers as well.
A third grader told me I need to be the lunch teacher Monday's, Tuesday's, Wednesday's Thursday's, and Friday's. So in conclusion, I should have lunch duty every day.
I apparently has bonded with one of the preschool boys. He keeps opening up to me and comes to give me hugs. He was also very upset the last week of school before break because he realized he wouldn't be seeing me for awhile. I held back my tears and stayed strong for the little guy.
I almost got hit in the head with a dodge ball since lunch and indoor recess share the gymnasium.
Once discovering an easier way to hold indoor recess for the preschool us teachers split up and divided the kids into groups. My group played in a classroom and "cooked me dinner" that would "explode" whenever I ate it. This lasted a good 30 mins.
A seperate day of indoor recess a little boy would throw a foam frisbee at my head screaming "PIZZA HUT MACARONNI!" This lasted about the same amount of time as the exploding food.
A little girl kept getting a drink, literally every 30 seconds. I finally asked her what is going to happen to all the fish if she keeps drinking all the water. She laughed and said there are no fish in the water fountain, they're in a pond. I then asked her where she thought the water in the water fountain comes from. She thought about it, got wide eyed, and laughed again because she finally realized I was joking. She continued to the water fountain.
As happy as I am to be on break, I already miss spending time with all those cuties.
Until next year,
Miss. "Kathy"
