and i have 3 goals: 1. don't send stink eye to my principal, 2. get it all done and know i rock even if nobody else does, and 3. enjoy the kids!
they have really been adorable, despite the daily drama, and i will miss them. and i have learned so much. SO MUCH. for example, when the kid walks in singing and continues to sing while everyone is working, don't say a thing. here's my story to illustrate:
there's this one little guy who loves to sing. i mean, REALLY loves to sing. he has a bit of a lisp too, so needless to say, it's adorable. however, he has a rather annoying? habit of singing outloud to himself while everyone else is quietly doing their work. i usually ask him to stop, so that he isn't bothering anyone else. i've even explained to him that his singing makes it hard for some people to concentrate and yadda yadda. and yeah, in one ear and out the other (like so many things!). usually he sings 'eye of the tiger' but the other day he came in with 'everybody dance now' by c & c music factory. it was pretty funny and i had to keep from laughing. this time i thought i would just sit back and let him continue on and we would let 'natural selection' do the job of pruning his habit.
and what happens? another kid picked up on the song, and started singing it too. and someone else picked up the rhythm and started in too! all while they are working away at their morning bell work. and then bam! someone concentrating hard noticed how distracting it was and loudly asked them to stop. which they promptly did. and order was restored once again.
it was hilarious. for one moment i wished for a video camera to be on. guess i'll just have to wait to rewind those tapes in heaven, eh, katina? ;)
