Good luck with THAT one!
Today was a fairly easy day. I spent the time in ESL putting letters together to go home to the children's parents. This year, only 32% of the children at Mill Park have English as a first language.
Anyway, fairly uneventful, until I had a conversation with a child in the cafeteria. It went something like this:
Child: Hi Mr. Mason!
Me: Hello there child!
Child: Are you a teacher now?
Me: Yes I am.
Child: That's weird!
Me: What's weird about it?
Child: Well, you used to be a helper and now you're a teacher!
Me: Yah I guess that is kind of weird!
Child: Yah...Good luck with THAT one! *rolls eyes*
End scene
I have no idea what the eye roll meant, but it made me laugh for hours! This friends is why I love children:)

So fun to read about your subbing experiences! I had 4 assignments this week and it wasn't easy, but overall not a bad gig. I think I panic the most in those kindergarten rooms!
Conversations like that are what keep me going during the long days/weeks! I love reading about what you're doing! I wouldn't be able to handle subbing, but you're creative and strong enough to get through it!
I panic when things don't go like I think they should. I'm probably the most calm in kindergarten, only because it lowers my blood pressure:) Thank you Mary for the kind words!
