Well...I have almost 2 weeks under my belt with these new kiddos, and oh my.... I am soooo exhausted by about 2:00 that I can't hardly function. But, I put on a happy face and fake it with all my might for the last 2 hours.
I start my day just the same way I finish it...I say the directions at least 2-10 times in order for 2 students to get in the same place the rest of the class has been since the first time I gave the directions. Amidst the constant repeating I have to talk over someone who is SCREAMING their head off because they want to go home with their mommy/daddy. I have never felt like such a horrible person. When a kid is screaming bloody murder because they have to stay with you for the rest of the day, there is no way that you can't take that personally. You have so many thoughts run through your head...what have I done?...I am I not making school fun?... Did I miss something?...they must really hate me, and dang they just met me...
I will saw they are one of the quietest classes I have had--knock on wood. And I don't have a problem with kids defying me like in years past. I just have kids that don't pay attention because they are so immature.
OH WELL...I will work my magic and by the end of the year I will hope and pray that they are ready for 1st grade. And hey...if they aren't I can always say it was because I was gone having a baby...right?
