Rain= indoor recess. Not enough cool toys to go around= tears. Not enough space and/or not paying attention to where other kids are= bumps, stomps, crashes= tears. Toy from home lost in the classroom= mega tears. Someone else took the comfy chair for reading time= tears. Got stuck with a partner he didn't want to be with= tears.
There is a reason I chose older grades to teach. Whew! All these little people's emotions are exhausting! For me and them.
Even with the big emotions, we accomplished Mrs. E's lesson plans. Today was Mm- Minute to Win it Day. They rotated among four stations. How many... chains can you link, cups can you stack, blocks can you stack, cubes can you connect... in one minute? They loved it. But some got frustrated *ahem*tears*ahem* when they didn't build a _fill in the blank_ as big as another group.
No butterflies hatched today. Hopefully tomorrow!
One more day! And tomorrow will be pretty easy, mostly wrapping up lessons we started today and then we're going to a play at MLC in the afternoon!
